Paul Konerko hopes to return next week from a broken bone in his left hand.
Konerko says he might take some swings Friday and hit some balls over the weekend. He hopes to be ready by the time the Chicago White Sox began a nine-game road trip that begins next week.
The 38-year-old was injured while tagging out Danny Santana in a game at Minnesota on Sept. 2.
The slugger plans to retire after the season.
