Joe Mauer sitting in Twins' matchup with Rangers
Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Kennys Vargas is starting at first base and hitting fifth against left-hander Cole Hamels and the Texas Rangers. Mauer, who turned 34 last week, is in the midst of the worst statistical season of his career and is no longer a fantasy factor.
Mauer is slashing only .236/.276/.278 with a .248 wOBA and .042 ISO this season across 76 plate appearances. He has no home runs and six RBI's through 19 games.
