ST. LOUIS (KMOX) -- Albert Pujols didn't waste much time.
The 3-time MVP, recently signed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract on Monday, was in the lineup Wednesday morning for the Cardinals' 12:05 PM CT game in West Palm Beach, Fla., against the Washington Nationals.
Pujols will bat fourth in the order, which looks like this:
Dylan Carlson, RF
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
Tyler O'Neill, LF
Albert Pujols, DH
Paul DeJong, SS
Yadier Molina, C
Harrison Bader, CF
Tommy Edman, 2B
Brendan Donovan, 3B
Miles Mikolas, P
Nolan Arenado is out of the lineup getting a mole removed from near his right eyebrow, as first reported by ESPN's Marly Rivera. Arenado is expected to be back Thursday after the simple procedure.
