Manager Paul Molitor confirmed Monday that Mauer (quad) will be held out of the lineup both Monday and Tuesday, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Molitor hinted Sunday that he would hold Mauer out from Sunday through Tuesday, and it turns out he will indeed do just that, as he gives Mauer time off to rest his sore quads. The Twins will release another update on Mauer's status prior to the first pitch of Wednesday's evening matchup with the Tigers.

Mauer will be held out Sunday to rest his sore quads, and he could be held out of the next two games as well with the Twins facing left-handers both nights, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer's quad soreness is apparently flaring up again, and it appears the Twins will give him a few days to rest and recover. Kennys Vargas and James Beresford could see more action while Mauer is sidelined.

Mauer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer is just 3-for-20 (.150) to open the month of August, so manager Paul Molitor decided to give him a day off Wednesday. With Mauer opening on the bench, Kennys Vargas will man first base, and Miguel Sano will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.

Mauer is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer will be held out Friday with manager Paul Molitor looking to get an extra right-handed bat in the lineup against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. Trevor Plouffe will man first base Friday in Mauer's place, and Eduardo Escobar will fill in for Plouffe at the hot corner.

Mauer went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He went 0-for-5 in his return to the lineup Saturday after missing a few games with a minor quad strain, but Mauer was able to pad his OBP in a big way Sunday, boosting his slash line on the season to .275/.375/.401.

Mauer is starting at first base and batting second in the order Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

A sore quad earlier in the week forced the veteran Mauer to miss time, but he returned to action Saturday, going 0-for-5 at the plate. He'll be back in his regular spot once again Sunday, this time looking for a better result.

Mauer (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman is set to miss his third consecutive game Friday as he continues to battle quad soreness. The Twins will be cautious with his recovery timeline and won't force him back into action before he's absolutely ready to play. Trevor Plouffe will take over at first base Friday and he'll likely continue to do so in Mauer's absence.

Mauer continues to battle soreness in his quads, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer missed just one game last week after first experiencing the quad soreness, but manager Paul Molitor said Mauer is still not 100 percent, and that his injury is actually worse than originally thought. Mauer was held out of Thursday's lineup for the second day in a row, and it remains to be seen how much longer he will be sidelined.

Mauer is not in the lineup Thursday against Detroit, LaVelle Neal of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer will remain out of the lineup for the third time in four games, as the Twins go with Trevor Plouffe at first base and Juan Centeno behind the plate. The Twins haven't provided a reason for the decision, as Mauer is enjoying a strong month of August, hitting .352 with 12 RBI in 71 at-bats.

Mauer is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Following Tuesday's 1-for-4 showing, Mauer will get his second day off in three games. Trevor Plouffe will slide across the infield over to first base, while Eduardo Escobar will draw the start at third base Wednesday, against left-handed starter Matt Boyd.
