Albert Pujols appeared to injure his right ankle in the 11th inning Thursday but stayed in the game.
Pujols tried to hop onto the tarp at Nationals Park while chasing a foul pop-up. He rolled his ankle in the attempt, though, and sat on the ground as a trainer tended to his right leg. With a lack of bench players left, the Cardinals decided to keep him active. Albert blasted his 400th career home run earlier in the night and should be fine for Friday's game.
