FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) _ St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert
Pujols did not make the cross-state trip for Monday‘s game against
the Boston Red Sox because of discomfort in his lower back.
The three-time National League MVP did not play Sunday against
the Florida Marlins _ a scheduled day off _ and is not expected to
play against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, a game also being
played in Fort Myers.
Pujols first experienced discomfort in his back on Sunday. Joe
Mather will take his place at first base against the Red Sox.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said he spoke to a
trainer at the team‘s spring training complex in Jupiter and that
Pujols is feeling better.
