Hardy activated from DL, Plouffe sent down
Shortstop JJ Hardy has been activated from the disabled list while his replacement, Trevor Plouffe, has been sent back to Rochester.
Hardy bruised his wrist in the ninth inning against the Detroit Tigers on May 4th. Hardy scored the winning run off a wild pitch but injured his hand after sliding into third base with a one-out triple. Since then, Hardy has changed the way he slides into bases to avoid having the injury happen again, including wearing a brace on the base paths.
Plouffe was brought up to start the weekend interleague series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Plouffe got off to a hot start in his Major League debut, picking up two hits, including a double, and knocking in two runs while scoring one. He cooled off the next two games and recorded the final out of the 4-3 loss against the Brewers and going 3-for-13. Overall, though, the Twins were impressed by the 23 year old.
