With Minnesota in the middle of a week-long rainstorm, the Dodgers might be back quite a bit sooner.

Now, Arcia is by all accounts ready to put the wrist ailment behind him. He took batting...2552Mon, 28 Apr 2014 03:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-big-switch-trevor-plouffe-r2554/~ Sponsored by Switch My Trip ~ From condemnation to redemption. Trevor Plouffe traveled that path over the span of three innings in Wednesday’s win over the Rays. It also appears he may be well along that path in his Twins career.
