Back on bench Pujols will sit for the third time in the last four games Tuesday against the Giants.

Impact The 40-year-old has shown no signs of suddenly aging in reverse this year, as he's struggled to a .206/.254/.381 slash line in 16 games. Tommy La Stella starts at first base Tuesday.

Sitting out second straight game Pujols is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. "He's fine. I'm just trying to move it around, give more opportunity to different people," manager Joe Maddon sai...

Impact Tommy La Stella will get a second straight nod at first base, allowing second baseman Luis Rengifo to essentially replace Pujols in the starting nine. Though his production has been trending downward for several seasons, Pujols' massive 10-year, $254 million contract has been enough to keep him locked into a full-time role, but Maddon's comments open up the possibility that the future Hall of Famer may no longer be extended that courtesy much longer. Over his 63 plate appearances this season, the 40-year-old Pujols is slashing .186/.238/.356 with a 17.5 percent strikeout rate, a career-worst mark for the contact-oriented veteran.

Heads to bench Pujols is not in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers.

Impact The 40-year-old continues to earn consistent playing time this season, though he doesn't have a true everyday role, sitting six times in the team's first 21 games. With a .186/.238/.356 slash line, he's not exactly making a great case for more regular at-bats. Tommy La Stella will play first base Saturday.

Sitting out series finale Pujols is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The 40-year-old is just receiving a routine rest for the day game after a night game. Tommy La Stella will step in at first base as a replacement for Pujols, who is slashing .186/.255/.419 through 11 games.

Two hits in loss Pujols went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The Angels only managed four hits in total, so the 40-year-old's first multi-hit performance since July 28 went to waste. Pujols is hitting only .186 (8-for-43) through 11 games, but his three homers and seven RBI have given him some fantasy value in deeper formats.
