Mauer went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit three-run home run in Friday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer has largely been shielded from left-handed pitching this season despite slightly better results against them (.717 OPS vs. LHP, .694 OPS vs. RHP), but he actually is hitless in eight at-bats against Detroit's scheduled starter Matt Boyd. As a result, Tyler Austin will man first base in his stead.

The veteran hit a pair of RBI doubles, driving in runs in the second and eighth innings. He also added an RBI single to cap off a six-run 11th innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer was in the field for the entirety of Saturday's game, which was played amid extreme heat in Chicago.

Mauer will give way to Logan Morrison at first base.
