The Minnesota Twins welcome back pitcher Joe Ryan from the injured list, but his return is unlikely to revive their dwindling postseason hopes. Currently 4.5 games behind the final AL wild-card spot, the team has struggled with a 4-6 record in their last 10 games and a dismal August performance of 10-17. Compounding their challenges, they also lost slugger Byron Buxton to injury. With less than a month left in the regular season, the Twins face significant hurdles to secure a playoff berth.
