If Tonkin claimed would he be playoff eligible?

[jaimedude]

I know he would have to fall to us on waiver priority claim. Seems like with Injury's another bullpen arm is needed. Because he was on our roster earlier in year prior to playoff trade deadline, would that make him post season eligible. We seem like we need another veteran that can pitch either as an opener or mid-relief roll. Bullpen seems to be short an arm. Not sure Tonkin will even be available, but I see Yankees DFA'd him. Just wondering if anyone else knows the post season eligibility question?

Players on the 40 man roster on Aug 31 are postseason eligible. 

Plus adds for injury.

So he would have to be injury addition for Stewart or another 40 man replacement due to injury. Thank's for clarification Chief. Would like to see Twins add a veteran to the bullpen.

Well they could also just add him to the 40 man prior to Sep 1.
