Mauer (oblique) has progressed to hitting off a tee, but there is still no timetable for a return to the Twins, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

Analysis:

Until Mauer takes part in full batting practice, the Twins won't release a timetable for his return. It would seem he will likely move on to facing live pitching in the near future, but even then, he could be several weeks away from returning to the big league lineup.
