SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Buster Posey points to a pair of regular sneakers at the foot of his locker. Those shoes signify serious progress for San Francisco’s injured catcher.

The reigning NL Rookie of the Year no longer needs a scooter, crutch or walking boot to make his way around AT&T Park. He considers himself on target to return from a devastating leg injury by the start of spring training.

Posey is gaining strength in his leg every day and is set to begin catching bullpens and hitting next month at instructional league in Arizona.

The new father of nearly 3-week-old twins went down for the season after tearing three ligaments in his left ankle and fracturing a bone in his lower leg in a frightening home-plate collision with Florida’s Scott Cousins on May 25.
