Twins' Joe Mauer: Not part of Wednesday's lineup
Mauer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Analysis:
Mauer is just 3-for-20 (.150) to open the month of September, so manager Paul Molitor decided to give him a day off Wednesday. With Mauer opening on the bench, Kennys Vargas will man first base and Miguel Sano will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.
