Wood – How to correct a twist in a 2×4

wood

I making a work bench surface and after putting the boards together in a rectangle I noticed a twist in one of the 2x4s. The result is that it will not lay flat anymore.

Will adding joists help correct this issue? The boards will act as a support for a piece of plywood that will go on top.

Buy another 2x4 that is straight. If it is for a workbench top you should be buying the best quality you can find which might cost $2 more.
