When reporters asked Twins manager Ron Gardenhire today how Joe Mauer is progressing, the skipper pointed to his catcher, who still has his beard -- evidence that he's not ready yet. Friday Mauer told reporters he would shave when he's ready to play (a beard and a catcher's mask don't go well together).
Mauer also said, however, the beard might go before he's back in the lineup, saying the facial hair just feels a bit strange.
Jason Bartlett is still out of the lineup, though Gardenhire said the shortstop could come in the game at some point tonight and will likely start tomorrow's day game.
With that, lineups ...
