Justin Morneau hasn’t played in a game since sustaining a concussion on July 7th. He’s been dealing with symptoms ever since, and even though he’s been present for workouts, he has yet to really push himself, and when asked about Morneau’s return, Ron Gardenhire didn’t sound very optimistic:
Justin Morneau Likely Done For Regular Season, Possibly Playoffs
Gardenhire says Morneau improving, but "I don't see how it can possibly happen for him," regarding a Sept/Oct return #Twins

Morneau certainly appears finished for the regular season, and then it’s an open question as to whether he’s able to come back for the playoffs. The good news for the Twins - if there is any - is that, even without Morneau, they’ve been playing terrific baseball, and currently have the best record in the league. Everyone wants to be at full strength in October, and no one wants to be without one of their stars, but the Twins have gotten by for this long.
