The Minnesota Twins are in the home stretch of spring training in Fort Myers, Fla. Opening Day for the Twins' regular season is March 31 in Chicago versus the White Sox.

Dr. Jon Hallberg, a physician in family medicine at the University of Minnesota, spoke with All Things Considered about health issues in spring training, like how repetitive motions such as throwing can lead to injuries and Joe Mauer's move from catcher to first base.
