St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols is not starting in Wednesday's lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pujols will sit on the bench after Juan Yepez was shifted to first base and Nolan Arenado was aligned at third.
Per Baseball Savant on 258 batted balls this season, Pujols has accounted for a 12% barrel rate and a .365 expected weighted on-base average.
