Twins' Joe Mauer: Leading off Monday

Mauer will serve as the Twins' leadoff man Monday against the Orioles.

Analysis:

Mauer will lead off for the first time in his major league career, as he enters the lineup at first base after serving only in a pinch hitting role Sunday. The veteran has just one extra-base hit since April 26, and he's currently mired in a 2-for-18 slump.
