The Los Angeles Dodgers are certainly an overflowing team of talent that although they are everyone’s favorite to repeat the championship of World Series this 2021, Have not been free of problems in their roster as they are casualties, injuries, changes, among other circumstances, so they have had to modify on the go in a season as long as MLB’s.
One of these changes was the acquisition of Albert Pujols from the free agency after he was released by the Angelinos in May, who initially responded to critics with good performances in the face of injuries, but as the season progressed, he began to be relegated to a supporting role in the Dodgers and since mid-August, he hasn’t seen much action time and hasn’t responded well with the wood either.
Since connecting the home run 677 of his career on August 21, Pujols has seen action in 9 games with 15 appearances on the plate total, hitting in this time only 2 unstoppable with 5 strikeouts, a base for balls and a boost, without playing a full game in that span, being his last on Aug. 6, when he completed 10 innings in the Dodgers’ extra innings loss to the Diamondbacks.
In total this season with the Dodgers, Pujols (who is the oldest active player in all of the Major Leagues) bats for 258 with 10 home runs and 33 RBIs, with an OPS of 763.
