MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have cut longtime third baseman Trevor Plouffe, the first significant move by new front office leaders Derek Falvey and Thad Levine.Plouffe cleared waivers and has elected to become a free agent.The 30-year-old was a first-round draft pick of the Twins back in 2004. After struggling to earn a spot as a shortstop, he turned himself into a reliable third baseman with solid power.Plouffe hit .247 with 96 home runs and 357 RBI in seven seasons with the Twins. The move appears to open a spot at third base for young slugger Miguel Sano, who bounced around between designated hitter, third base and the outfield last year.Third base has always been Sanos preferred position.Plouffe was limited to 84 games last season because of injuries. He batted .260 with 12 homers and 47 RBI.The Twins also outrighted catcher Juan Centeno off the 40-man roster Friday.The team says outfielder Adam Brett Walker has been claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers.

The 6-foot-9 Isner rode his big serve to win his 11th straight match on Newports grass courts. He was not broken in the match that lasted 1 hour, 20 minutes, taking control by blanking Harrison in the tiebreaker. Isner, seeded second, broke in the third and seventh games of the second set before Harrison hit a backhand return long on the matchs final point. The 28-year old Isner showed no effects from a left knee injury that forced him to retire from his second-round match at Wimbledon. In winning the 2012 title in Newport, Isner held serve in 57 of the 58 games he played. It was a similar formula on Monday. "Just getting the first one out of the way is critical for me," he said. "I was happy how I played in the second set, took care of my serve well. I felt like I was in a lot of his service games, especially in that second set." When it was over, Isner let out a loud "Yes!" as Harrisons shot sailed long under sun-drenched skies with temperatures in the low 80s with a slight breeze. "I remember last year in my first round here, I won 6-4 in the third," said Isner, ranked 19th overall entering the week. " Its always a tough match. Playing Ryan, I beat him here in the semifinals last year. Hes a good grass-court player and hes a friend of mine. But hes someone I dont want to lose to. Its important to win those matches like that. Im one of the top ranked Americans and II want to continue to stay way for as long as I can, and beating guys like Ryan helps.dddddddddddd" Top seed Sam Querrey is slated to face fellow-American Tim Smyczek is his first-round match on Tuesday. In the most interesting match of the day, Polands Michal Przysiezny beat 15-year old American Stefan Kozlov, who was making his ATP debut, 6-3, 6-7 (9), 6-4 in a match that lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours. Kozlov, who lives in the Miami-area, broke to go up 4-3 in the third before calling for the trainer, who worked on his right hip. "I slipped in the first set on my hip and it kind of got progressively worse," Kozlov said. The match ended with the youngster limping before falling to the ground as he made his way to the net. He sat in his chair for a while with a towel over his head before slowly walking off the court. "I was hanging in there and started cramping," he said. "Its kind of tough to play when youre cramping. Now I know I could actually win. I couldnt believe I could win a set." The tournament is held in conjunction with induction ceremonies into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Martina Hingis leads the 2013 class that will be enshrined on Saturday before the semifinals.
