Mauer is not in the lineup Thursday against the White Sox, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer has been swinging a hot bat recently, slashing .396/.429/.509 over his last 53 at-bats, but he'll get the day off after starting nine of the last 10 games. Mitch Garver will man first base in his stead, batting fifth.
