Mauer is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Mauer has been in the lineup every day since August 3, so it's likely just a regular day of rest for the first baseman. Trevor Plouffe will take over at first in his stead, while Eduardo Nunez draws the start at third base.
