ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing arthroscopic debridement of his left knee. The surgery was performed Wednesday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles and carries a recovery period of six to eight weeks. GM Billy Eppler said Pujols is expected to be ready by Spring Training.
Pujols, 38, has been battling knee pain throughout the season and landed on the disabled list in July with left knee inflammation. At the time, manager Mike Scioscia estimated that Pujols was playing at 50 percent. Pujols also underwent surgery on his left knee in 2012 after his first season with the Angels.
