TORONTO -- Angels first baseman Albert Pujols left Wednesday's game at Rogers Centre early after taking a fastball to his left wrist. The team initially diagnosed it as a left hand contusion.
Pujols was in a lot of pain after getting plunked by Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchison in the fourth inning, but he stayed in the game, ran the bases and played the next half-inning on defense. In the top of the fifth, though, Marc Krauss came on to pinch-hit.
Pujols fractured his left wrist while with the Cardinals in June 2011, banging it against a runner while catching a throw, and ultimately missed two weeks.
