Two months after concussion, Justin Morneau still optimistic he'll return

September 8, 2010 |The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau says he's still optimistic that he will play again this season even though he's been out of the lineup for two months because of a concussion.

The native of New Westminster, B.C., spoke to the media on Wednesday before the Twins took on the Kansas City Royals.

He says he is having more good days than bad days recently, which has him hopeful he will return to help his team in the pennant race.

Morneau was injured while sliding into second base against Toronto on July 7. He has not played in a game since.

The Twins entered the series finale against the Royals 4½ games up on the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central.
