Twins first baseman Justin Morneau told reporters Wednesday he is expecting to return to the lineup this season despite being sidelined with post-concussion symptoms since July 7.The 2006 AL MVP still hasn't gotten the green light to throw or hit from the doctors yet, but he has begun running, and his progress in the last week has him feeling good about the chances of a return.
"It's been a pretty good week," he told reporters. "I've been running, and it's coming along slowly. That's why I'm still optimistic that we'll be back before the year is over."
Morneau, who missed the postseason last year (a 3-0 sweep in the ALDS against the Yankees), was having the best season of his career in 2010 before he was knocked out.
The slugger was hitting .345 with 18 homers, 56 RBI and a 1.055 OPS.
In other Twins medical news, Jim Thome was a late scratch from the lineup Wednesday night, and left-handed reliever Brian Fuentes is set to have an MRI after feeling stiffness in his lower back.
