Albert Pujols was back at designated hitter for the sixth consecutive game Friday as he is trying to stay off his sore right foot. Pujols also expressed concern about how the foot is affecting his right knee, which was surgically repaired in 2012.

“If this was the National League, I would do it,” he said of playing in the field at first base. “But I’m more worried about my knee. I don’t want it to irritate my knee. I don’t know how long it’s going to be. Hopefully, the next couple of days here it gets settled. But who knows?”

Pujols won Gold Glove awards for his play at first base in 2006 and 2010.
