The Twins will likely start Joe Mauer at first base on Thursday against the White Sox in Chicago. Mauer was out of the lineup on Wednesday in order to rest. "We won't really know until we get him over there and see, but he honestly is pretty fluid over there," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's got soft hands. He moves around there pretty well." Gardenhire said Drew Butera would catch for Carl Pavano on Thursday.
