Joe Mauer (concussion) took live batting practice Saturday.
"It was good to get out there," Mauer said. "Everything went well today." It was the first time Mauer faced live pitching since August 19, when he sustained a concussion after taking multiple foul tips in the facemask. The injury derailed his season and forced him to move from catcher to first base this offseason. Now symptom-free and at a less volatile position, the 30-year-old is a good bet to post a strong season at the plate in 2014.
