Twins catcher Joe Mauer is getting a cortisone shot in his right shoulder to treat tendinitis and is expected to miss one or two days, Manager Ron Gardenhire said after his team’s 4-0 victory over Seattle on Saturday night.
Mauer has been hitting well — .414 since the All-Star break — but his arm has been sore since he took a foul tip off his shoulder in early July.
Gardenhire did have good news about Justin Morneau, however. Morneau is scheduled to take batting practice on the field Sunday morning for the first time since he suffered a concussion on July 7.
