Pujols is working his way back from arthroscopic knee surgery and isn't expected to make his Cactus League debut until mid-March. "There's no need to rush him," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think if Opening Day was on the horizon, he might feel the need to push it a little bit. He really doesn't need to be into games until probably the second week of March. I anticipate he'll play before then, for him to be ready for the season."
