"Cardinals first baseman and MVP candidate Albert Pujols had surgery on his troublesome right elbow Monday, the team announced late this afternoon. Pujols had surgery to decompress and relocate the ulnar nerve in his right elbow, a joint that has given him problems since he strained a ligament there early in 2003. The surgery "did not require reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament," the release from the club states, underlining the words "did not". The release states Pujols will begin his rehab this week and "make his recovery" by spring training. Source: Stl Today
Not a big deal, every Cardinal fan knew it was coming and he shouldn't have any more problems with it.
