Mauer still sidelined

CLEVELAND — All-star catcher Joe Mauer is not going to be activated from the seven-day concussion list when the Minnesota Twins begin a homestand next week.

It was originally thought Mauer would report to Target Field and possibly begin an exercise program on Saturday, but now it is being pushed back until at least Tuesday, the day he is eligible to come off the concussion disabled list.

Mauer was placed on the concussion list earlier this week after he became dizzy during his pre-game routine. The Twins sent him back to Minnesota from Detroit and the 2009 AL MVP visited a specialist at the Mayo Clinic on Friday.
