Chart: Twins on the bubble

FILE - This is a 2015, file photo showing Tyler Duffey of the Minnesota Twins baseball team. Twins pitcher Tyler Duffey wasn't entirely prepared when he got called up to the major leagues for the first time. The right-hander, who opened the season at Double-A, didn't have his passport with him when the Twins promoted him from Triple-A Rochester and picked him to start against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2015. Early Sunday morning, Duffey's father flew from Houston to Rochester

These four players need a strong final week to secure a job:

LHP Logan Darnell: A longshot to make the roster, but he has had back-to-back scoreless outings.

RHP Tyler Duffey: Failed to nail down a spot in the rotation but gets one more chance Monday.

RHP Brandon Kintzler: Ground-ball inducer has given up a run in each of his past three outings.

RHP Michael Tonkin: He's out of options and has pitched poorly. Likely will get a couple more chances and got the save Saturday with a perfect inning.
