The Los Angeles Dodgers are undoubtedly an overwhelming team of talent that although they are everyone’s favorites to repeat the championship World Series in 2021, They have not been free of problems on their roster such as low game, injuries, changes, among other circumstances, so they have had to modify on the go in such a long season as MLB is.
One of those modifications was the acquisition of Albert Pujols in free agency after being released by the Angels in May, who initially responded to critics with good performances against injuries, but as the season progressed, he began to be relegated to. a supporting role with the Dodgers and since mid-August, he hasn’t seen much action time and hasn’t responded well with the wood.
Since hitting his 677th career home run on Aug. 21, Pujols has seen action in 9 games with 15 total plate appearances, hitting just two hits with 5 strikeouts, a walk and an RBI in that span, without playing a full game in that span, his last being on Aug. 6, when he completed 10 innings in the Dodgers’ extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
In total this season with the Dodgers, Pujols (who is the oldest active player in all of the majors) is hitting .258 with 10 homers and 33 RBIs, with an OPS of .763.
