    Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols was put on the disabled list Sunday with a tear in his left foot that could end his season.

    Manager Mike Scioscia said the star will be sidelined for "a significant amount of time."

    Pujols has a partially torn plantar fascia, an injury that has bothered him most of the season. He aggravated it while running out a single in the ninth inning of Friday's 6-4 loss to Oakland.

    "This is something that, talking to Albert, has been going on for six or seven years," Scioscia said before the Angels' game against Athletics. "It's been going on for a long time and he's managed it. This is a big blow to our team right now."

    Although surgery seems unlikely, Scioscia didn't rule out the possibility that Pujols could be sidelined for the rest of the year.

    The Cardinals are probably glad that he's not on their team anymore with that contract.

    He screwed himself by leaving st louis.he had god status there and he had most of the nl pitchers figured out but he could not hit the floor if he fell on it with the angels.
    he should come back to the nl where he would matter again.

    I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Cardinals fans laughing at the Angels for giving Pujols a 10 year contract. You have only 8 years to go, lol.
