The Twins placed Trevor Plouffe on the 15 day disabled list Friday night. He was initially in the lineup, but scratched after his bruised thumb acted up on him during batting practice. The move is retroactive to July 21. Filling the roster spot is Danny Valencia, who was hitting .250 with 7 home runs and 37 RBI at AAA-Rochester.
Twins right-hander Liam Hendriks is back in Triple-A Rochester. The Twins say he needs to regain control of his fastball, to which Hendriks agreed. Left-hander Scott Diamond will take his place in the rotation.
Twins' third baseman Trevor Plouffe is "optimistic" that a jammed thumb won't put on the disabled list. He'll take more swings on Thursday and possibly face live pitching for the first time since suffering the injury last Friday. More injury and rehab updates on Byron Buxton, Kyle Gibson and Alex Wimmers after the jump.
Trevor Plouffe hasn't hit a home run since coming off the disabled list after hurting his thumb in July. While the Twins say he has all the tools to bounce back, the Star Tribune reports GM Terry Ryan wants Plouffe to "step up."

Twins' third baseman Trevor Plouffe is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday, but he won't be joining the team anytime soon. A bruised bone in his right thumb still causes him pain when swings a bat, and it doesn't sound like he'll be ready until at least late next week.
Trevor Plouffe had four RBIs and Scott Diamond threw six scoreless innings as the Twins rolled to an 11-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs Saturday at Target Field. The victory was the Twins' ninth win in the last 11 games, and the club's fourth consecutive series victory.
