HBT: Angels' Morales continues to improve

Kendrys Morales is still a major question mark nearly two years removed from breaking his lower left leg while jumping onto home plate following a game-winning-home grand slam, but he did get some good news after visiting his doctor in Colorado earlier this week.

According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Morales was cleared to ?ramp up? some baseball activities. While he was previously jogging on a ?de-weighted? treadmill and hitting off a tee in Arizona, he has already begun running under his own body weight.?The real test will come when Morales begins running the bases aggressively, but this is a very positive early sign.

The Angels tendered Morales a contract this offseason, despite the fact that he hasn?t played in a?professional game since May 29, 2010. The 28-year-old switch-hitter figures to make around $4 million in his second year of arbitration, but the benefits are obviously huge if he can bounce back to his 2009 form. Mark Trumbo is behind in his rehab from foot surgery, but the Angels still have enough depth that they can afford to bring Morales along slowly.
