Twins News
Joe Ryan's struggles against the Guardians have left the Twins' playoff hopes hanging by a thread, as evidenced by Sunday’s dismal 9-2 loss that keeps Minnesota at a disappointing 70-78 record. Adding insult to injury, Royce Lewis exited the game with left shoulder soreness, leaving fans anxious about his availability moving forward. This is just the latest chapter in a season plagued by inconsistency and offensive struggles, with the Twins averaging a meager 3.1 runs per game over the last week. As the team grapples with injuries and seeks to find a silver lining in a fading season, the focus shifts to potential extensions for young talent and hopes for a brighter 2027. Given the current trajectory, it feels like the Twins are already setting their sights on the future rather than salvaging what’s left of this campaign.
