Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols is back in the lineup Tuesday after exiting Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners with a left hamstring cramp.

Pujols left the game in the third inning after hobbling into second base with a bases-loaded double. It appears the rest worked, with Pujols slated to play first and bat third for the Angels in the second of a four-game set.

The 34-year-old first baseman has stayed remarkably healthy this season, appearing in 148 games after being slowed by various ailments in 2013.
