MINNEAPOLIS -- Canadian first baseman Justin Morneau will be activated from the disabled list before the Minnesota Twins play Wednesday. Matt Hasselbeck Jersey . The New Westminster, B.C., native took another round of early batting practice Tuesday, his 31st birthday, to test his sore left wrist and reported no problems. He told Twins manager Ron Gardenhire he wants to play first base, rather than be the designated hitter. In 20 games this season, Morneau is batting .230 with five doubles, four homers and nine RBIs. He spent the minimum 15 days on the DL. To make room for Morneau, the Twins optioned first baseman Chris Parmelee to Triple-A Rochester. Parmelee is hitting .179 with 21 strikeouts in 84 at-bats. Centre-fielder Denard Span wasnt in the lineup Tuesday because of a sore right hamstring, and Gardenhire said Span is day to day. Jared Cook Jersey . Hamburg came into the round topping the standings for the first time in nine years, but Martin Jols team allowed three goals within 13 minutes as Ashkan Dejagah (15th), Alexander Madlung (23rd) and Grafite (28th) scored for Wolfsburg. Bruce Matthews Jersey . Lawrie decided to rescind his right to appeal a four-game suspension Thursday after the Blue Jays third baseman hit an umpire with his helmet during a game earlier this week. http://www.tennesseetitansjerseyonsale.com/steve-mcnair-jerseys . "I think he was sort of stunned," the colts owner, Paul Reddam, said Friday. "His immediate reaction was, Well, should I just go home today?" Reddam responded: "No, youve got to ride. Michael Griffin Jersey . Salt Lake (12-7-3) won its second straight at home to bounce back from a 5-0 loss at San Jose a week earlier. Colorado (7-13-1) lost its fifth straight and is winless in its last eight meetings against Salt Lake. Earl Campbell Jersey . This week, Chelsea, United and City all show their class in impressive victories. STORIES OF THE WEEK: Leading the Premier League can be a weekly test of nerves, and so it was for top of the table Chelsea when they fell behind 1-0 at home against Norwich after Grant Holt smashed home an opening goal just 11 minutes into the contest. WASHINGTON -- Bryce Harper was unaware of the significance of the Washington Nationals latest victory until the fireworks started going off and he was handed a playoff T-shirt and hat. "I said, Well, I guess were going to the playoffs," the 19-year-old centre fielder said. Yup, thats right. Postseason baseball is returning to the nations capital for the first time since 1933. The Nationals used Ross Detwilers six strong innings and Ryan Zimmermans RBI double to lock up a playoff spot Thursday night with a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Nats Clinch" flashed on the scoreboard as Washington was ensured of at least an NL wild card, delighting the crowd of 30,359. "That was fun, but its not what I had my eye on," manager Davey Johnson said. "I dont want this." The fans stood and cheered in the ninth inning, then got even louder when Drew Storen struck out Hanley Ramirez to end it. Johnson saluted the crowd as he left the field and the team wore caps and T-shirts acknowledging the playoff berth. "I noticed like in the fifth or sixth, some signs, some different things that kind of keyed me into that this wasnt going to be an ordinary evening," Jayson Werth said. "That was not an ordinary win." Washingtons magic number to win the NL East was reduced to eight. The Nationals lead idle Atlanta by 5 1/2 games. "Weve been through a lot and a lot of us in here have been through a lot of not-good times and these are the beginning of hope for a lot of good times," Zimmerman said. Zimmerman is the only Nationals player to appear in each of the teams eight seasons. "Its a first step, and its a long ways to go," he said. Washington became the second team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this year. Cincinnati earned its slot earlier in the day. The Nationals celebrated with a private champagne toast. No spraying and no protective plastic over their lockers. "I think there was some talk about not celebrating at all, but I kind of talked them out of that," Werth said. "The next one would not be as subdued, I would imagine," Zimmerman said. Washington last reached the post-season 79 years ago, when playyer-manager Joe Cronin and the Senators lost to the New York Giants in five games in the World Series. Kenny Britt Jersey. "I cant remember that year," Johnson said with a laugh. Until this year, the Nationals had never had a winning season -- nor finished above third place -- since moving from Montreal for the 2005 season. It will be just the franchises second post-season berth and its first since the Expos came within a game of the World Series in 1981. The Nationals lost more than 100 games in both 2008 and 2009, allowing them to draft pitcher Stephen Strasburg and Harper. The loss dropped the Dodgers three games behind St. Louis for the NLs second wild-card spot. Milwaukee moved ahead of Los Angeles with its win over Pittsburgh. Manager Don Mattingly agreed the teams playoff chances dimmed after the Dodgers 10th loss in 14 games. "You know, honestly, it does. It feels like it is a little bit, and I dont think theres any way for us to look at it other than that," he said. "I mean, its, yeah, were going the wrong direction. "For us at this point, were going to have to put a run together thats going to be more than just win a series." Detwiler (10-6) allowed Mark Ellis fourth-inning home run and two singles. Storen pitched the ninth for his third save. Zimmermans third-inning double scored Harper with Washingtons first run. Zimmerman then took third on an infield out and scored on a wild pitch by Chris Capuano (11-11). The Nationals added two runs in the fourth on a walk to Ian Desmond, an RBI double by Danny Espinosa and a sacrifice fly by Kurt Suzuki. Werth, who signed a $126 million, seven-year deal with the Nationals before the 2011 season, is most eager for the post-season to begin. "Ive got a lot to prove. Ive got a lot of people to prove wrong, and I cant wait," Werth said. NOTES: Mattingly said that LHP Clayton Kershaw was continuing with his throwing program. Kershaw will have to demonstrate hes free from pain in his right hip before hell be able to pitch again, the manager said. ... Johnson said RHP Chien-Ming Wang will start on Sunday. Wang hasnt started since June 19. He missed nearly two months with a right hip injury. ' ' '
