i watched the cubbies game today aginst the cardinals.
they interviewed larussa in the 6th inning and he said that they would only use pujols as a pintch hitter in an emergency.
well, he pitch hit in the 7th and stayed in the game to play first for the remainder.
by the sounds of things and after watching him today, he looked fine. i wouldnt worry about it.
the cards have lost r. sanders, rolen and and their rookie rodriguez as of late so they cant afford to lose pujols especially with edmonds sore hammy.
i wouldnt lose sleep over it
hope this was helpful
