Joe Mauer, Oswaldo Arcia absent from Twins' lineup Saturday
Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer and outfielder Oswaldo Arcia are both out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
Manager Paul Molitor is opting to give Mauer a breather against opposing southpaw J.A. Happ. Darin Mastroianni is drawing the start in his place in right field and batting seventh for the Twins.
Mauer is hitting .265/.377/.361 with two homers and 11 RBI's through his first 175 plate appearances this season. Arcia has been really struggling at the plate, slashing .213/.292/.363 with four homers and 12 RBI's in 89 plate appearances.
