Plouffe started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.
Recommendation: Plouffe continues to be in the lineup most days between third base and right field. Both positions remain in flux and Plouffe has a chance to establish himself as a regular if he can get a few more hits. He's drawing walks and hitting for power, but at some point his batting average also needs to clear the Mendoza Line. Despite hitting three home runs in May, he's also hitting just .184 for the month.

INF/OF Trevor Plouffe hit his third home run in four games on Saturday, putting the Twins ahead for good in their win over the Brewers, and started at third base against the Brewers on Sunday. Manager Ron Gardenhire called Plouffe a "super-utility player" on Sunday, but said no matter where Plouffe plays, he needs to round out his offense; his homers have been his only three hits in his last three games.
