faba Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols will be out for 4-6 weeks with a fractured left forearm. Mike and Mike in the Morning ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney says Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols' injury could seriously affect his career and upcoming free agency. Plus Olney says the Florida Marlins are a complete mess. More Podcasts » The team announced the results of an MRI and CT scan Monday, a day after Pujols was injured during a home game against Kansas City. The team said Pujols has a non-displaced fracture of his left radius and his arm is in a splint. Pujols was hurt on a play at first base in the sixth inning. He was fielding a long throw and Kansas City's Wilson Betemit collided with his glove hand as Pujols was pulled toward home. The Cards' three-time MVP went down to the ground in pain. Pujols is hitting .279 this year, starting to heat up after a slow start. The team says his left shoulder was sore, but no structural damage was found.

Blackout Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 haha no problem. Albert's injury is going to be costly....I can see the Cards falling out of the divisional race unless Berkman somehow keeps up his MONSTER numbers this year. Berkman should be an allstar for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanDoug Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 No, no, NO.... This is all wrong. The Cubs were supposed to sign him to a $300 million 10 year deal. Then he gets the injury. Get it straight Albert, you're messing with Cubs futility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
