Angels taking on Oakland without Albert Pujols (foot)

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (foot) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Pujols has been bothered by discomfort in his foot since Monday and hasn't played since. Mike Trout will serve as designated hitter for the Angels on Wednesday while C.J. Cron starts at first base. There's a chance Pujols will be sidelined for the rest of the year.

Pujols has been decent from the dish this year, slashing .268/.323/.457 with a .331 wOBA and .189 ISO through 650 plate appearances.
