Angels' Albert Pujols has foot surgery

Albert Pujols underwent a foot operation last week, raising the possibility he could be on the disabled list when the Angels open next season.

Speaking Monday at baseball's general managers meetings, General Manager Billy Eppler said Pujols is expected to resume "full baseball activities" — that is, play in games without restrictions — in 4 1/2 months.

The Angels open their season two weeks after that, on April 4 against the Chicago Cubs at Angel Stadium.

Eppler wouldn't make any promises about Pujols' availability on opening day.

"I'm not going to put a stopwatch on it," he said.
