ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels Tyler Skaggs and the Houston Astros Collin McHugh are the scheduled starters for Saturdays game, but more notable is who wont be there.The Angels made it official Friday when they shut down Albert Pujols for the rest of the season. He will wind up missing the final five games because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, something that has bothered him for the past month.Many criticized the Angels for signing Pujols to a 10-year contract prior to the 2012 season, knowing Pujols would be 41 by the end of the contract. Injuries would surely slow him down, it was said.And while Pujols has suffered a number of injuries primarily to his legs and feet since joining the Angels, he has managed to stay in the lineup and put up numbers. He is exactly halfway through his contract at five years, and has played in at least 152 games in four of them, including this season.He has hit 28 home runs or more in four of the five seasons, including 40 as recently as last year. And his 119 RBI this season were the most since he had 135 in 2009 with the Cardinals, when he won the last of his three MVP awards.And while Angels manager Mike Scioscia has made Pujols more of a designated hitter than first baseman in order to keep him off his feet as much as possible and keep him healthy, Pujols said Friday he wants that to change.Im going to be ready to play first base, Pujols told reporters Friday. Hopefully Ill get to train the way I want and Ill come back as a first baseman. I want to get back on the field.Pujols accepted Scioscias decision to DH him this season -- he started 28 games at first base and 123 as the DH -- but it wasnt like he loved it.It was all right, he said. (But) Im not going to be doing that next year.That, of course, is up to Scioscia, who wasnt willing to make any decisions just yet.Were a better team when he plays first base, Scioscia said. Hes a terrific first baseman, but not at the expense of losing what he needs to do in the batters box.The Astros George Springer will be in the lineup Saturday as Astros manager A.J. Hinch wants to give his right fielder the opportunity to play in all 162 games. No Astro has played in all 162 since Carlos Lee in 2007.Springer also is one home run away from 30 for the season, and second baseman Jose Altuve and shortstop Carlos Correa are four RBI shy of 100.With the club eliminated from playoff contention, those individual milestones are something Hinch is paying attention to.Theres a couple of guys that are chasing some individual plateaus that are important to them, and if its important to them, its important to me, Hinch said. A hundred RBI for Altuve and Correa would be a great cap to their personal seasons. George is one homer shy of 30 and hes played in (160). So Ill pay attention to a little bit of that. Pa...

Peppers Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.Sheffield Wednesday and Hull can expect an instant cash boost if they clinch promotion to the Premier League in the Championship play-off final on Saturday. The showdown - live on Sky Sports - is billed as the most lucrative game in football, but exactly how much is it worth?With the help of financial analysts Deloitte, we break down and assess the prize the winner can expect this summer… How much would the win be worth?The value of victory to Sheffield Wednesday in Saturdays Sky Bet Championship play-off final is £170m, according to experts at Deloittes Sports Business Group.Wembley opponents Hull can also expect a huge revenue uplift if they triumph, although the value to them is less, at £110m, as they will have to forgo parachute payments following relegation from the Premier League last year.What makes up those figures?The record £170m minimum promotion prize is an increase of £40m on the figure estimated for last year owing to the rise in Premier League TV rights.The figure breaks down as £95m for next season - mostly from central distributions but also increased commercial activity and gate receipts - and £75m in guaranteed parachute payments if relegated. If the club avoid the drop next year, the overall figure rises to a staggering £290m. Wembley has been the scene of some dramatic play-off finals in recent years These riches are available to all clubs promoted to the top flight but the sudden-death nature of the play-off final exacerbates the difference between making the cut and missing out.Next season Deloitte expect the club who finishes bottom of the Premier League to earn £95m to £100m. Thats all to do with the increase in broadcast revenue.Middlesbrough and Brighton actually faced a similar scenario earlier this month when they met in the final round of regular season fixtures with the last remaining automatic promotion spot at stake. Boro prevailed after a 1-1 draw to join Championship winners Burnley in the top flight. Curtis Davies is hoping Hulls previous Wembley experience will help them on Saturday Richard Battle, senior manager in the sports business group at Deliotte, said: The reason the figures for the play-off final and the Middlesbrough-Brighton match earlier this month are bigger than any equivalent game previously is the coming into effect of the Premier Leagues new broadcast deals.It is a fantastic amount of money for a football club and really allows them to invest, not just in playing talent but also in the infrastructure of the club and the community as well. The financial prize of Premier League football is greater than it ever has been. How to win a play-off final What is the secret to winning at Wembley in a play-off final? We ask specialist Ian Holloway How sharply has the prize money increased over the years?Figures from Deloitte show how much the jackpot for winning promotion to the Premier League has increased over the years. Just 10 years ago the value of going up was approximately £40m, while todays numbers dwarf those of when Wednesday last played in the top flight.Battle said: Sheffield Wednesday generated revenue of £18m in the clubs last season in the Premier League, in 1999/2000. Jermaine Jackson from the Jackson 5 is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter and hes even re-written a song for the Championship play-off final A win on Saturday would see them generate revenue at least six times that amount next season, and could propel them into the worlds top 30 revenue-generating clubs.ddddddddddddWith the commercial power of the Premier League showing no signs of abating, it seems only likely to increase further. Estimated worth of Championship play-off final through the years Year Worth 2006 £40m 2007-09 £60m 2010-12 £90m 2013-15 £130m 2016 £170m Battle added: The full stadia, global TV exposure and the will of commercial partners to pay to associate themselves with Premier League football are what make it the strongest league globally in terms of revenue generation.The flow from that is clubs can invest that in better players and the product becomes more appealing. That in turns drives the increases in broadcasting revenue and commercial values, so there is really a virtuous circle for the Premier League. Play Fantasy Six-a-Side The Championship play-off final could also make you rich with £10k up for grabs. What happens with the three relegated sides from the Premier League?Promoted clubs who are relegated after a single year in the Premier League will no longer benefit from full parachute payments from the 2016-17 season. Newcastle, Aston Villa and Norwich were relegated from the Premier League in 2015/16 That means Norwich, who went down after gaining promotion from the play-off final this time last year, will receive only two years of parachute payments, while Newcastle and Aston Villa receive three years.Before this season, relegated clubs received four years of parachute payments: £25m in the first year, £20m the season after, £10m in the third year, £10m in the fourth. With it now being reduced to three years, the year-one payment stands at £40m.Although the Premier League have not confirmed these figures, year two is reported to stand at £33m and year three at £14m.
