Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe will join the team Thursday night and work out with the team in Texas over the weekend, MLB.com reports.
The news indicates that the Twins don't believe Plouffe needs a rehab assignment before returning from the disabled list early next week. Fellow injured infielder Eduardo Nunez is being sent on a rehab assignment Thursday, while Plouffe will fly to Texas to be with the team. He's expected to return from left rib inflammation early next week.
