Albert Pujols: Slowed by Injury? -  5/30/2010 9:30:42 AM

Update:
Pujols may be dealing with some nagging injuries that have slowed his production during May, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Recommendation:
The report indicates that Pujols has "tweaked" his heels and knees numerous times during the month, and scouts have noticed that he is clearly laboring due to a lower-half injury. The soreness has resulted in the lowest monthly slugging percentage of Pujols' career, by quite a large margin. It doesn't seem likely that the Cardinals will sit Pujols while he's just dealing with minor injuries, but he may be looking at a few extra days of rest in the coming weeks.
