Mauer is not in the lineup Tuesday in St. Louis, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Twins playing in a National League park, regular designated hitter Logan Morrison will get a start at first base, giving Mauer a rare day off. The veteran is hitting .280/.425/.374 in 30 games. His 20 percent walk rate ranks second among qualified hitters, while his 11.9 percent strikeout rate is 12th-lowest.

Mauer will play first base and hit atop the Twins' order versus the White Sox on Friday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Brain Dozier struggling, manager Paul Molitor has elected to give Mauer a chance at the top spot for Friday's series opener. It remains to be seen whether this could be a legitimate option moving forward, or just a remedy to try and help Dozier out of his funk. Over 26 games this season, Mauer is hitting .293/.435/.391 with eight RBI.

Mauer is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer is hitting .298 on the season, but he has just one hit in his past four starts. As a result, he'll head to the bench for a night off with lefty CC Sabathia taking the hill for New York. Logan Morrison will move to first base to fill the void, while Ehire Adrianza takes his spot in the lineup for the evening.

Mauer went 2-for-3 with a run scored, two RBI and two walks Tuesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer has gotten on base at a great clip to start the season as his on-base percentage now sits at an excellent .543. Unsurprisingly, he has shown next to no power with four doubles being his only extra-base hits of the season. That profile has been Mauer's blueprint for several seasons and there's no reason to expect that to change.

Mauer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Mike Berardino of The Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer will receive his first day off the 2018 season in anticipation of Thursday's daytime home opener versus the Mariners. In his place, Logan Morrison draws the start at first base.

Mauer may not be in the starting lineup Wednesday at Pittsburgh in favor of Logan Morrison at first base, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Mauer went 1-for-4 in Monday's game and is hitting .333 (5-for-14) with two doubles in four games.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer may get the Wednesday night game off to ensure he'll play in Minnesota's daytime home opener Thursday.

Mauer is 4-for-15 with two extra-base hits and six RBI through five spring training games.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer appears to be getting close to regular-season form after the first couple weeks of spring training. He'll look to build on his performance from 2017, when he hit .305 with 44 extra-base hits and 71 RBI. Mauer should still hold decent fantasy value, given he's Minnesota's everyday starter at first base and that he managed to appear in 141 games a season ago, despite approaching the back half of his career.

Mauer is not in the lineup Friday for the second day in a row, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins have clinched a berth in the AL Wild Card game and are locked into their spot, so the veteran Mauer will be rested for the second time in as many days. Kennys Vargas will make his second straight start at first base.

Mauer is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Indians, MLBpressbox.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer will take the afternoon game off following 19 straight starts, as manager Paul Molitor elected to grant some of the regulars a day to rest after the Twins clinched a playoff berth due to the Angels' loss Wednesday night. In his place, Kennys Vargas will pick up a start at first base.

Mauer went 3-for-3 with a double and two walks Thursday in Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer failed to record a run or RBI despite getting on base five times, as Minnesota's offense was quiet until a three-run outburst in the ninth inning propelled the team to a 4-2 win. The 34-year-old veteran is having a renaissance season at the plate, as his .306/.389/.421 line is easily Mauer's best across the board since 2013.
