MINNEAPOLIS -- All signs point to Twins left-hander Glen Perkins moving in the right direction.

Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said that Perkins is slated to throw another inning in relief for Fort Myers, the team's Class A Advanced affiliate, on Thursday. If all goes well, he could potentially move up to Double-A Chattanooga at some point next week.

"I'm hoping the trend of good health continues, as far as how he's feeling," Molitor said. "If everything goes well tonight, we are considering getting him up to Chattanooga next week. Bump the competition a little bit and see how we do.
