Mauer (quad) was able to take some swings and field grounders Wednesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer is missing his fourth straight game Wednesday as a result of quad soreness, but it sounds as though the issue is beginning to subside. It's possible he'll be available off the bench for Wednesday's tilt, and he'll look to return in a full capacity for Thursday's series finale against the Tigers.
