Joe Mauer will not be in Sunday's lineup due to a sore right shoulder.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said on his Sunday morning radio show that Mauer saw a doctor after Saturday's game and has a sore shoulder as a result of taking so many foul tips. The catcher is also taking anti-inflammatory medication. Gardenhire said Mauer will be available to pinch-hit Sunday and will play in the All-Star Game, so it doesn't sound like the malady is too serious.
