FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Twins catcher Joe Mauer has been diagnosed with
inflammation in the sacroiliac joint, following the magnetic resonance
arthrogram he had on Tuesday.
The sacroiliac joint, often referred to as the SI joint, is located at the
base of each side of the spine where it meets the top of the pelvis. Mauer's
inflammation is located in the joint on the right side of his lower back.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he was told by team physician Dr. John
Steubs that the doctors will switch Mauer to a more aggressive medication in
hopes of clearing up the inflammation. The team will wait a few days to see
how Mauer responds to the medication before he tries any physical activity.
"It shows the same thing," Twims manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The
inflammation is in the SI joint and they are going just change the medicine
and we'll go from there."
Gardenhire said the Twins had been treating Mauer for some inflammation in
the joint already, so the news that there were no additional problems was a
relief.
"You are thinking that it could be something huge with the way it's been
going," Gardenhire said. "But obviously it's the same thing. They just
haven't gotten it under control yet."
Mauer underwent the exam after lower back discomfort has prevented him from
doing any baseball related activities in recent days. The catcher has been
limited so far this spring following surgery to eliminate a kidney
obstruction on Dec. 22, hitting only off a tee and catching in the bullpen.
But Mauer hasn't been experiencing the discomfort when he's catching,
throwing or swinging a bat. The only time that his back has proved to be an
issue is when he tries to run.
