MLB.com reports Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who has been limited by a sore calf, has increased his workload to running and performing infield drills. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he expects Plouffe to be playing in spring games by next week. "Plouffe is moving around pretty decent," Gardenhire said. "He's not at full speed yet, but he's moving along. He's feeling better and better each day. Hitting in groups and all those things. He did fielding today, which is a good thing. He's getting better. Not ready to play in game yet, but not too far away either."
