Mauer hit his first homer of the season as part of a 2-for-4 evening Thursday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

His first-inning long ball got the Twins started on the right foot, but they weren't able to get much thereafter. Considering Mauer's never topped 11 homers since his outlier 2009, we can't expect more than about that number this year. A career .313 hitter, he also saw his average decline into unhelpful territory over the past two seasons, leaving Mauer with fairly little fantasy appeal outside AL-only formats at this point.
