Good News for Mauer - Sort of

MLB.com reports that no mysterious causes were found for Joe Mauer's back pain. The pain is just from inflammation of the CI join on his lower back. It looks like they will dope him up a little stronger in hopes of beating the inflammation.

For those of you with the Fan's curiosity, there is a word, "Flammation," which is an obsolete word for setting things on fire. So, if you add an "in" to the front of the word, then Mauer's back is on fire. Don't know why the Fan threw that in there. Just thinking out loud.

Anyway, at least further damage to the kidney was ruled out and that is a good thing.
