Albert Pujols Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols had a strong offensive showing in the team's 11-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Pujols went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI. The home run was his seventh of the year and his second since joining the Dodgers about two weeks back. Through 11 games with the Dodgers, Pujols is slashing .235/.278/.471. He's been in the starting lineup more often than not lately, but that is likely to change going forward now that Cody Bellinger has returned. Pujols can remain on waivers in all fantasy leagues at this point.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. The home run was his 668th of his career and also moved him into 13th place all time with 3,256 hits to pass Eddie Murray. Pujols has enjoyed Dodger blue so far and has started three of four games. He is now 3-for-11 with his new club and has contributed four RBI. Despite the early success with his new club, Pujols is unlikely to have an everyday role. Those in deeper leagues can throw a dart and hope it sticks, but there should be better options on the waiver wire.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols, who said he's willing to accept a limited role with his new team, delivered a crucial RBI single in the team's 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night after getting the start at first base while batting cleanup. "I told them I'm here to do whatever -- pinch hit, first base, whatever they want," Pujols said. "I'm just excited to have this opportunity to wear this uniform and glad to be here." The future Hall of Famer finished 1-for-4 in his debut. Gavin Lux has been moved to short with Corey Seager (hand) out with a fractured hand, allowing Max Muncy to move to second base. When the team is at full strength, the Dodgers plan to use Pujols mostly as a late-game pinch-hitter, which means he's not going to have much fantasy appeal the rest of the season. With an .889 OPS in late-and-close situations and an .878 OPS against lefties this year, the Dodgers think Pujols can be useful in the right situations.
