Giants' Bonds Remains Uncertain About Return to Lineup
San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds, still recovering from knee surgery, said on Tuesday that he still did not know whether he would be able to return to action this season.
"There hasn't been much change in my condition," Bonds wrote on his web site www.barrybonds.com. "My rehab is coming along and I still don't have a timetable for my return to the team. If I'm ready in September and the Giants want me to play, I'll play."
Bonds, the single season home run record holder who turns 41 on Sunday, has undergone a series of knee operations since last year. He has been working with a physical therapist in the Los Angeles area for the past month.
"Even though I haven't started to run or do any baseball activity, there are little things that indicate progress is being made," he said. "For example, not feeling so much soreness after doing my strengthening exercises."
Bonds had hoped this season to pass Babe Ruth for second place on the all-time home run list. With 703 homers, Bonds trails Ruth by 11 and is 52 behind leader Hank Aaron (755).
The injury has also kept Bonds out of the limelight as the BALCO steroid scandal moves to legal resolution. On Friday, Greg Anderson, the personal trainer and close friend to Bonds, admitted in court that he had provided steroids to athletes, but did not name names.
