Lagares was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals with left calf tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albert Pujols will enter the lineup at first base as Jared Walsh moves out to right field to cover for Lagares, who had been filling in for Dexter Fowler (knee). It's uncertain whether Lagares is available off the bench.
