Twins Make Moves; Open Spot on 25-Man For Capps

The Minnesota Twins announced they have placed infielder Nick Punto on the 15-day disabled list and called up shortstop Trevor Plouffe.

The Twins also sent pitcher Nick Blackburn to Triple-A Rochester to open up a spot on the 25-man roster for closer Matt Capps.  The team hopes Blackburn can work out his problems down in Rochester and work his way back.

Note:  First baseman Justin Morneau moved around and did a little warming up before Friday’s game but no timetable is set for his return.
