Joe Mauer is catching a day game after a night game, with Mike Redmond on the bench with that sore knuckle. Updates to come…

Update: Luis Castillo had a friend fly from Miami with his resident visa from the Dominican Republic, a key document Castillo needs to travel to Toronto. Doh! Castillo left that thing in Miami, when he’s known all this time that the trip to Toronto was coming. The Twins have been reminding players since spring training to have their passports and everything organized for this trip. There have been signs all over the clubhouse. Castillo’s plan is to meet his friend at the airport, grab the document and board the team charter to Toronto. Castillo is not in the lineup today, but that is nothing new, as he’s getting a day to rest his achy knee. … Redmond swung a bat and said his finger feels better, but this guy has an incredible pain threshold. He was able to catch in the bullpen yesterday, so perhaps the Twins won’t need to add a catcher to their roster for the road trip. … Also, Gardenhire acknowledged that it’s possible Rondell White could join the team in Toronto if all goes well on his rehab.
