Twins' Joe Mauer: Remains out of lineup Friday

Mauer (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Analysis:

The veteran first baseman is set to miss his third consecutive game Friday as he continues to battle quad soreness. The Twins will be cautious with his recovery timeline and won't force him back into action before he's absolutely ready to play. Trevor Plouffe will take over at first base Friday and he'll likely continue to do so in Mauer's absence.
