Joe Ryan Returns, But Twins' Playoff Hopes Dim

Joe Ryan's return from injury is unlikely to revive the Minnesota Twins' postseason chances as they trail in the AL wild-card race.

The Minnesota Twins are set to welcome back pitcher Joe Ryan, who has been on the injured list since early August due to a left glute strain. He is scheduled to start against the Detroit Tigers, but his return is not expected to significantly improve the team's dwindling postseason prospects.

Currently, the Twins are 4.5 games behind the final AL wild-card spot after suffering a heavy defeat to the Chicago White Sox. Their recent performance has been disappointing, with a record of 4-6 over the last ten games and a 10-17 record in August, which has contributed to their decline in the wild-card standings.

Ryan's ability to make an impact is limited as he is expected to pitch only three to four innings due to his recent injury. The Twins' rotation has been further weakened by injuries to key players, including the loss of slugger Byron Buxton. With the regular season nearing its end, the Twins face significant challenges in their playoff pursuit.
