10:46 AM ET 08.10 | Justin Morneau has been out since July 7 while recovering from a concussion, and it appears he will need more time than the Twins had hoped. The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that the team wanted Morneau to join everybody in Chicago yesterday to take batting practice with his teammates and then head to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings for rehab. But Morneau wasn't in Chicago yesterday and isn't leaving Minneapolis just yet. "He's made good progress the last week," General Manager Bill Smith told the paper. "Chicago was a possibility, just like Cleveland was a possibility [this past weekend], depending on how things went last week. But Justin's very comfortable with the facilities at Target Field, so he's going to continue doing his workouts there."

If they ever make a Punch Out movie, Morneau should play Glass Joe, either him or Nick Johnson.
