There is a possibility that the Twins could have Joe Mauer back in their lineup as early as next week. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire insists that the All-Star catcher won't be activated off the disabled list until the team is convinced he has caught enough during his rehab from bilateral leg weakness. After catching eight innings Wednesday, Mauer was back in the Class A Fort Myers lineup at catcher Thursday. Mauer can return from the 60-day DL Sunday.
