The Minnesota Twins are expected to get catcher Joe Mauer back soon.

He could be back on Tuesday. He has been affected by back spasms.

Previously, Twin manager Ron Gardenhire said Mauer would be available to play this afternoon, as he met with the media this morning. But then, later said Mauer would receive another day of rest after missing six straight games with these spasms.

If he does return on Tuesday, he would return against the Cleveland Indians.

Twins' ball goes stratospheric -- for science

MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota Twins sluggers Justin Morneau and Josh Willingham have combined to hit 53 home runs this season, so they know a thing or two about sending a baseball out of the park. But on Sunday, both Twins players helped send another baseball further than any home run either of them has ever hit. Before Sunday's Twins game against the Chicago White Sox, a group of...

Over his last several starts, it...

While brief, Herrmann enjoys MLB debut

Via Fox Sports North  |  September 17, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS Chris Herrmann's major league debut was brief, but it was still a day to remember for the Minnesota Twins catcher. Herrmann entered Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox as a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth inning of the Twins' 9-2 loss. After replacing Ryan Doumit defensively, Herrmann got his first big league at-bat in the bottom...

Twins' Deduno takes step back vs. White Sox

Via Fox Sports North  |  September 15, 2012
Occasionally, a young pitcher will be referred to as "effectively wild." On Saturday, Minnesota's Samuel Deduno was simply wildly erratic. Deduno began the day owning the second-most wins (six) of any Twins starter. Yet, the right-hander rarely found the strike zone against the first-place White Sox in an eventual 5-3 Twins setback. Deduno was all over the place...
