A matchup against the last-place Miami Marlins was the Twins' last real chance to keep any hope of postseason baseball alive. Win, and the slimmest of hopes survives. Lose, and the door effectively closes.

Kepler received a cortisone shot in his hip last week for an injury that has kept him out since the beginning of the month.

The team asked much more of him than anyone could have expected, resulting in a career-high innings count and noticeably diminished stuff down the stretch. How has Woods Ri...17114Fri, 27 Sep 2024 16:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-twins-fans-may-want-to-go-to-target-field-on-friday-for-pablo-day-r17128/After such a major collapse, and a series loss to the Marlins at home, and arguably the worst loss of the season on Thursday night, I’m trying hard to think of reasons to get to the ballpark this weekend.  The biggest reason, in my opinion, is because you won’t be able to watch the Twins ag...17128Fri, 27 Sep 2024 16:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-hits-100-games-a-milestone-we-should-celebrate-r17124/Byron Buxton has finally done it. In Wednesday night's game, he reached the 100-game mark for the 2024 season. This may not sound like a groundbreaking number for a player, but for Buxton, the milestone carries significant weight.

The Twins’ chances to make the playoffs are down to a sliver. They started today at 22.9%, and that's already come down substantially.
