Mauer won't be back Friday

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Joe Mauer is still feeling sore, did very little work today because of that soreness and will not be ready for activation for Friday's game in Oakland.

Luis Castillo was also feeling pretty sore today, so you'll see Nick Punto at second base and Jeff Cirillo at third. Jason Tyner gets DH duties today. Mike Redmond's elbow is fine, and he said he could play this afternoon, but Heintz is stepping in instead.
