It’s been a rough start to the 2020 season for Albert Pujols. Entering Saturday’s game, Pujols has a slash of .186/.238/.356/.594. He has three homers, eight runs driven in and one double. Although he’s struggling with the bat, manager Joe Maddon is confident that his slugger will be able to figure things out at the plate.
“He and I have talked a lot,” Maddon said. “He’s had some pretty good games recently. He’s constantly working. We have a strong line of communication. We’ll keep working on it. His desire is as great as it was 20 years ago.
