Twins shortstop Adam Everett is headed back to the disabled list, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Everett is experiencing more pain in his right shoulder.

The team will announce a roster move after the game.

Brendan Harris is playing shortstop today. Gardenhire did not rule out the possibility of the team promoting Trevor Plouffe or Luke Hughes from Class AA New Britain, though the team’s reports say those two aren’t ready for the big leagues right now, and there would be great reluctance to rush them.

With Matt Tolbert and Nick Punto also on the DL, this is a tough decision, as the Twins’ middle-infield choices at Class AAA Rochester are limited.

Update (12:53): Everett was going to see a team doctor before the game. There has been no report yet, but Everett will likely have another MRI exam.
