Albert Pujols will undergo surgery Wednesday to remove a bone spur in his right (throwing) elbow, only two weeks after the Angels first baseman had season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
The recovery time for both procedures is four to six weeks, which should give the 38-year-old slugger enough time to complete his normal offseason training regimen. Pujols also had an injection Friday for tendinitis in his left elbow.
“I’m not going to play the rest of the season, so I might as well take care of the little things for next year,” Pujols said before the Angels’ 5-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Monday night in Angel Stadium.
