The Cardinals confirmed on Tuesday that the first baseman Albert Pujols will undergo arthroscopic debridement surgery on his right elbow. The surgery, which will remove bone chips in Pujols' elbow, is going to be performed by team physician George Paletta and Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham.
Pujols (in cardinals jersey), coming off a season during which he hit .327 with 47 home runs, is expected to be fully recovered by the start of Spring Training in February next year. This will be the second surgery for Pujols. He had nerve transposition on the same elbow last October. There is a chance that he may still need Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in his career.
