Sitting out second straight game Pujols is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Pujols saw his streak of three straight starts come to an end in Saturday's 7-6 loss, and he'll remain on the bench for the series finale while Brendan Donovan gets a turn as St. Louis' designated hitter. Even though Tyler O'Neill (leg) is day-to-day and Juan Yepez (forearm) and Harrison Bader (foot) remain on the injured list, Pujols looks like he'll be limited to short-side platoon duty moving forward.

Big performance in win Pujols went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jays.

It was still an impressive three-hit performance, with his fifth-inning homer accounting for insurance runs for the Cardinals. The 42-year-old slugger has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 14-for-36 (.389) in that span. He's up to seven homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored, a stolen base, eight doubles and a .241/.321/.420 slash line in 187 plate appearances.
