Joe Mauer Could Be ‘Week-to-Week,’ According to Ron Gardenhire

Twins catcher Joe Mauer could be facing an extended stay on the bench, according to his manager Ron Gardenhire.

The reigning AL MVP, who has been sidelined with a bruised heel, could be week-to-week, rather than day-to-day, Gardenhire reported on Sunday. 

Mauer is batting .345 with one homer and 13 RBIs in 22 games played, and took Saturday off to rest his bruised heel.
