ANAHEIM – Albert Pujols was limited to DH duty on Saturday night because of a sore groin.
Pujols tweaked his groin sometime during Friday night’s game, and the Angels ended up having to pinch-run for him in the eighth.
Asked how long Pujols might be limited to DH, Manager Mike Scioscia said “as long as it takes.”
Truth be told, the Angels aren’t hurt too much as long as Pujols can still hit. He was just starting to heat up, with eight hits in 19 at-bats on this homestand, including homers on Thursday and Friday.
