The Minnesota Twins are giving Joe Mauer the day off against the Colorado Rockies after the star catcher had a tough few days behind the plate. Manager Ron Gardenhire says Thursday that Mauer “took about 18 foul tips” over the previous two game. One went off his face mask that stung him pretty good, Gardenhire says.
