Justin Morneau Will Not Play In ALDS; Hopeful For ALCS

The tricky thing about concussions is that they’re unpredictable. You have to take them day by day, and that’s what makes them so maddening. There’s no telling how long a guy will be out, or when he’ll be able to recover.

Justin Morneau is experiencing that dilemma first hand. However, he has been able to reach one conclusion - he will not play in next week's Division Series. It's simply too soon, and he doesn't feel up to it.

He's leaving the door open for a Championship Series return, should the Twins be able to advance. The odds aren't great, but that's far enough in the future that Morneau has a glimmer of hope.
