Pujols has been playing through the pain and it has looked to effect him much behind the plate. This season Pujols has hit 26 home runs and drove in 103 RBI’s as he continues to climb the all-time home runs list.

With Anaheim out of the race they may decide to play it safe with the veteran and see how the foot responds to treatment.
