Albert Pujols not in Angels' lineup Saturday
Albert Pujols - 1B - Los Angeles Angels
May 5, 2012 - 8:20 PM ET
Albert Pujols is not in the Angels' starting lineup on Saturday for the first time this season.
Pujols was told by manager Mike Scioscia to not even pick up a bat, so he didn't participate in pregame batting practice before the game and is doubtful to pinch hit. The well-compensated first baseman is engrossed in the worst slump of his career, hitting just .194 with no homers and five RBI through 114 plate appearances.
