Mauer-less Twins host White Sox

May 8, 2007 - 2:19 PM Chi White Sox (14-14) at Minnesota (16-15) 8:10 pm EDT

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Twins dropped two of three to the Red Sox over the weekend, but their biggest loss was their All-Star catcher.

The Twins host the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, hoping their struggling offense can find a way to score runs without the reigning American league batting champion.

Mauer missed the last two games of the series against the Red Sox and was placed on the disabled list Sunday with a strained left quadriceps muscle. Mauer was leading the club with a .353 average and 14 RBI.

After a 4-3 loss on Sunday, Minnesota has managed just 12 runs in its last five games, dropping four of the contests.

Boof Bonser (0-1, 4.55 ERA) will take the mound for the Twins. The 25-year-old righthander has not earned a decision in either of his past two starts despite allowing just one earned run in 11 combined innings.

Javier Vasquez (2-1, 4.02) counters for the White Sox. The veteran righthander took a loss last Tuesday at Seattle. Vasquez allowed four runs and six hits in 7 1/3 innings.

The White Sox have been no offense juggernaut, either. Chicago is mired in last place in the American League with a .222 team batting average.
