Albert Pujols Cleared For Lower-Body Workouts
6 years agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (elbow, knee) has been cleared for light lower-body workouts after his season-ending knee surgery, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Pujols is also already doing full upper-body work after having right elbow surgery in 2018. The Machine is not aging gracefully and seems to have at least one surgery on some body part every year. He'll turn 39 next month and is an extreme injury risk with declining skills at the plate who can barely run at this point. Pujols did manage to hit .245/.289/.411 with 19 home runs and 64 RBI in 117 games last season. He's limping to the finish line and his floor continues to fall for those in mixed leagues.
