Pujols for Wainwright (injury risk worse for one than the other?)

Thinking about trading Pujols for Wainwright in my H2H OBP league. If both stay healthy and perform as BBM projects, it’s a win for my team needs. So my main question is about Wainwright’s health. Jeff Zimmerman over at Fangraphs does a great job at looking at stats related to health. Jeff’s not putting up any red flags yet, but I did notice that Wainwright’s Velocity and Zone% (2 of the main warning signs) are trending moderately down from the beginning of the year. Also, Wainwright had an "tennis" elbow problem about a month ago.

What do you all think?

If team context likes it, I'd pull the trigger. Wainwright looks to be in fine form since returning from the rest for his elbow.
