Trainer: Mauer Wasn't Ready To Begin SeasonTwins head athletic trainer Rick McWane said the soreness Joe Mauer is experiencing in his leg is because his body wasn't strong enough at the start of the season. "He, I don't think, has had the repetitions either for catching or anything else," McWane said. "Once the season started, he started to wear down."

"I was out there fighting it and my body just said I couldn't go anymore," Mauer said. "It's tough to admit that, especially with the things that guys play through.

He was eligible to come off the DL on Thursday, but there is no timetable for his return.
