Safe to say Albert's a pretty fast healer.

...or that the bustards in a major league baseball organization chunked out a bunch of misinformation and lied to us...again.

Congrats to all those Pujols owners...

yet another reason why he's the safest player to draft in baseball... even when he breaks something he's only out 2 weeks. My only concern if I were a Pujols owner would be that he doesn't come back too quickly and re-injure himself. As someone who doesn't have Pujols, I was excited one of the best fantasy players wouldn't be playing for awhile.. though on a human level I never like to see people get injured...

I thought the injury would hurt his free agent value, but you have to think this only makes him a more valuable commodity.

And good for the Cardinal organization in not sending him down to the minors.

A practice that has become commonplace for players coming back from injury.

For the shorter term injuries, unnecessary.
