Mauer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Mauer will just be taking a rest day for Sunday's matinee, giving way to Byung-ho Park at first base. The longtime Twin has looked great to start the season with a .328 average over 64 at-bats, but has still been a subpar source of power at first base, compiling only five extra-base hits to date.
