ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols has enjoyed a productive year, but it's uncertain if the slugger will play this weekend against the Astros, the final series of the season for the Angels.
Pujols, fourth in the Majors with 119 RBIs, is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which has forced him to miss the last two games. He's played through pain for some time, and his return to the lineup is dependent on how the foot responds, according to manager Mike Scioscia.
"It's got to the point right now where we don't want to put him at risk," Scioscia said, adding that there's no anticipation of Pujols needing offseason surgery.
