The Cardinals announced that Albert Pujols (in cardinals jersey) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday. And the club referred to the procedure as "a success." Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery in Birmingham with Cardinals head team physician Dr. George Paletta. It was determined during the operation that Pujols does not require "Tommy John" reconstructive surgery in his elbow. He has a significant injury to the ulnar collateral ligament in the joint, but has dealt with it since 2003 without undergoing the extensive procedure.
According to the club, Pujols will begin recovery next week in St. Louis and is expected to fully recover. "I want to thank all of my fans who have reached out to the Pujols Family Foundation wishing me well. I've said throughout my whole career, the best fans in the world are right here in St. Louis, and your support means a great deal to me and my family." Said Pujols.
