Angels scratch Juan Lagares (calf) Monday; Albert Pujols stepping in
The Los Angeles Angels have scratched Juan Lagares (left calf tightness) for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Albert Pujols will rejoin the starting lineup at first base.
What It Means:
Lagares reportedly experienced tightness in his calf during warmups, so the Angels will hold him out tonight just in case. Albert Pujols will step in at first base and bat seventh, while Jared Walsh will step up into right field.
Our models project Pujols, who has a $2,500 salary on FanDuel, for 10.2 fantasy points in tonight's contest.
