Mauer Officially Activated
Joe Mauer is now officially on the active roster, which of course was expected today. Juan Morillo, who had a horrible relief outing surrounded by a couple OK appearances since being claimed off waivers a couple weeks ago, was outrighted to AAA Rochester to make room for Mauer.
The Twins have decided to cut back to 11 pitchers in favor of having 3 catchers on the roster. Mike Redmond hasn't played in almost a week as he tries to recover from a sore shoulder. Apparently with Redmond's injury and Mauer just returning, the Twins didn't feel comfortable with just 2 catchers.
Jesse Crain won't be returning from the DL when he's eligible on Wednesday, so that leaves a bit of time before the Twins will have to make another roster decision.
