Mauer to rest aching shoulder
Submitted by Theresa on August 1st, 2010
Joe Mauer took a cortisone shot to quell swelling in his right shoulder Saturday night and will miss at least the next two games.
The shoulder has been bothering him since being hit by a foul tip about a month ago. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Mauer has had a magnetic resonance imaging exam and “everything’s fine, everything’s sound. He’s just got a little tendinitis in there that keeps bothering him and won’t go away. You get in there and don’t throw for a couple days, he should be good.”
