It’s OK folks… nothing too serious. Twins catcher Joe Mauer has a stress reaction in his left leg, and will sit out for a few days for treatment. “We’ll give him some therapy for the next four or five days,” Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan said Thursday. “He came in this morning a little sore. He didn’t know exactly what it was.”

The Twins described the injury as a precursor to a stress fracture. An MRI exam found nothing more serious.

“He should be OK after a little treatment,” Ryan said. “That would be the hope. I think we’re OK.”
I’m glad that Joe has some time to sit out before the regular season starts next week. The week off should give him enough time to heal up and be ready for opening day. The only problem is, not player uses their legs more than a catcher. A lot of pressure is put on their legs while squatting all game.
