Joe Mauer (rest) not in Twins lineup Monday
Joe Mauer is not in the Twins' lineup on Monday. Trevor Plouffe will start at first base and bat third while Eduardo Nunez plays third base and bats second against the Blue Jays.
What It Means:
This looks like just a day off for Mauer as the Twins will face David Price when he makes his Blue Jays' debut this afternoon. Price is holding righties to a .282 wOBA while striking them out 23.7 percent of the time. Plouffe is projected to rank 10th among all eligible third basemen in our Daily Baseball Projections. Nunez is not much of an option as he projects to be in the bottom 30 percent of third basemen today.
