The St. Louis Cardinals activate 1B Albert Pujols from the D.L.
The Cardinals have activated 1B Albert Pujols from the 15-day disabled list. This will give the Cardinals offense a huge boost as Pujols is one of the most feared hitters in all of baseball. Pujols has played in 65 games for the Cardinals this season and he is 77 for 222 (.347 avg, 1.106 OPS) with 41 runs scored, 16 homers and 42 RBIs. Pujols is so feared that he has been walked 52 times this season while only whiffing 23. To make room for Pujols on the roster the Cardinals have placed lefty reliever Randy Flores on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left ankle. Flores has pitched in 32 games (0 starts) for the Cardinals this season and he is 1-0 with 1 save, a 5.12 ERA and a 1.91 WHIP.
