After the minimum stay on the DL. So much for at least 3 weeks.

Manager Tony La Russa said Saturday that Pujols, who has been on the disabled list since June 11 due to a strained left calf, will join the team for workouts beginning Tuesday in Detroit. It now appears to be a very real possibility that Pujols could be activated the first day he is eligible, which would be Thursday's series finale at Comerica Park.

 

"I think he's feeling really good," La Russa said.

That man has an unbelievable tolerance of pain & I respect his ability to play and to produce thru pain, he is one tough SOB.

He's going to hurt himself pretty seriously if he keeps pushing his recovery time for these ailments.

I'm a Cubs fan and I really, really like Albert Pujols. There I said it.

I'm a Cubs fan and I really, really like Albert Pujols. There I said it.

I like him too, but I wouldn't mind seeing him hobbling around while less than 100% in terms of healing and confidence like Soriano was. At least until after our next series with them.
