That's a first! Never heard of this condition before. Looks like he could miss some significant time here which is terrible news for the Twins as they are off to a bad start. The Twins need to get themselves a good catcher because Mauer needs to be DHing.Twins placed C Joe Mauer on the 15-day disabled list with bilateral leg weakness
Mauer has been out for the past two games, but the news still comes as a major surprise. Bilateral leg weakness is a condition often related to nerve or spinal cord issues and can be quite serious when at its worst. Mauer will visit a specialist in Baltimore this weekend. The light-hitting Drew Butera is likely to draw most of the starts behind the plate in his absence.
