well its looking good for u ;-D

im in a tight race for RBI's and if Pujols sat I would be done for im only 1.5 points back and 6 RBI's away from 1st place. Albert better have a career 3 weeks before sitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sep 5 Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols aggravated his left heel last weekend in the series against the Nationals and may require an absence from the lineup for a few days. "It's been sore for a week; that's why he's not running a lot of balls out," manager Tony La Russa told MLB.com on Saturday. "At some point between now and the end, we're going to have to have him do that procedure, and that's going to cost him four or five days. Not sure when that's going to be." Pujols received two non-invasive treatments on the same heel, called OssaTron treatments, in the offseason to remedy the plantar fasciitis discomfort that bothered him during the second half of the season.
Views: The last thing fantasy owners want during the stretch run is for their superstar player to be sidelined for a week. A player like Prince Albert is capable of putting up very gaudy numbers in just one week. It doesn't seem as though the Cardinals will rest him until they have clinched a playoff spot so fantasy owners won't need to rely on a capable temporary replacement just yet. We'll be sure to update you when he has the treatments and his prognosis thereafter.
