Albert Pujols (knee) is hoping to be medically cleared to play in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.

Pujols had a minor knee procedure in October and will not play in the first round of the tournament, but he's hoping to join the Dominican roster eventually. "That's why I had the operation in October, to be ready for the Classic," Pujols told a Dominican radio station, according to the Associated Press.
