Pujols underwent surgery on to repair a plantar plate in his right foot back in November and is expected to be ready to go by Opening Day.

Expect the Angels to be extremely cautious with Pujols who is 36 years of age. Pujols underwent surgery to repair his knee a few years ago and rushed back for Opening Day and only played in 99 games that season.

As Pujols gets older expect him to play more of the designated hitter role in order to save his body during the grind of the long MLB season. Pujols is a big part of the Angels lineup and they will need him to be healthy next season if the Angels want to get back into the playoffs.
