BOSTON _ Julio Lugo was all smiles today because he was able to hit and suffered no setbacks with his torn quadriceps.
He tore his quad on July 12 and has been out of the lineup since. He was able to hit today and now he's working on getting his mobility back. His first-step explosion is critical, he said. Running-wise, Lugo said he's at 65 percent and his goal is to return by the end of the regular season.
"Every time you get hurt you're racing against the clock," said Lugo "Especially now that the season is almost over, you try to push it as long as you can."
When he suffered the setback in Baltimore on Aug. 20, Lugo actually thought his season was over.
"I was in a lot of pain," he said. "It felt worse than it did the first time. Now I think I'm recovering good."
