Pujols Down

[Slow Pitch]

I think its looking like he will be back before the break. I think he will come off after his 15 days are up, although I actually wouldnt mind if he did stay out till the break & made sure this thing is 100% healed up.....

Agreed.

Per Rotoworld:

Albert Pujols (calf) will join the Cardinals in Detroit for some supervised workouts next week.
If everything looks fine, Pujols will return when he's eligible on Thursday. "I think he's feeling really good," manager Tony La Russa said. Jun. 21 - 6:01 pm et

"Jun 22 Pujols (strained calf) has shown so much improvement that he could be ready to return when eligibile to be activated on Thursday, the St. Louis Dispatch reports.
Recommendation: There were dire warnings that Pujols could be out until the All-Star break or longer, but he's always been a fast healer."

and more from pujols:

"Jun 23 1B Albert Pujols, on the 15-day DL with a strained left calf, is progressing well and might be able to come off the disabled list when first he is eligible on Thursday in Detroit."


"Jun 23 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss reports St. Louis Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols (calf) is expected to rejoin the team in Detroit and might be activated when eligible Thursday, June 26."

The guy is a machine. Hopefully he is fully healed and the injury doesn't linger for the rest of the year. I really need him.

Same here. I am in the money without him, but will be sure to take THE money with him.

I decided to start him this week. I figure 4 days of Pujols is better then 6 days of Millar. I lost both Pujols and his backup, Konerko in the same week. Millar will probably miss a couple days this week anyway playing in NL parks.
