Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (head) left Sunday's game early in the opening frame after getting hit by a pitch on the left side of his batting helmet. Evan Woodbery of the MLive Media Group reported that the 26-year-old was down on the ground for a while but was eventually able to walk off on his power. He was replaced by Austin Martin. This was a scary sight, but fortunately, Miranda was able to stand on his own and walk off the field. The infielder was recently reinstated from the injured list on Saturday after missing a few weeks due to a back injury. Miranda has enjoyed a nice post-hype breakout season this summer as he boasts an excellent .324/.364/.517 line with nine home runs and 43 RBI. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates on the third baseman after Sunday's game.UPDATE: Miranda suffered a head contusion on Sunday and passed the preliminary concussion testing.
The Minnesota Twins reinstated infielder Jose Miranda (back) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday and optioned infielder Edouard Julien to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. It remains to be seen if Miranda will jump right back into Minnesota's starting lineup on Saturday against the division-rival Detroit Tigers, but with regular third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) also coming off the IL on Friday, the Twins are going to have to get a little more creative to keep Miranda's bat in the lineup regularly. However, if he keeps hitting like he was before going on the IL, Minnesota is going to find a spot for Miranda. The 26-year-old finished off the first half of the season as one of the league's hottest hitters. He was carrying a 13-game hitting streak that saw him go 25-for-47 (.532) with a homer, seven doubles, 13 RBI and one steal before going 0-for-4 on July 10.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (back) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday. As long as Miranda doesn't suffer a setback with his back at St. Paul, there's a chance that Miranda will be activated from the 10-day injured list to rejoin the big-league roster for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Tigers in Detroit. The 26-year-old has been out since before last week's All-Star break with a lower-back strain. Before his injury, Miranda was scorching-hot at the plate, going 28-for-59 (.475) with a homer, nine doubles, 16 RBI, five walks and a stolen base in 16 games since June 22. He snapped a 13-game hitting streak just before he was injured before the All-Star break. Regular third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) is also on track to return from the IL on Friday, but if Miranda picks up where he left off, the Twins will find a lineup spot for him on the daily.
Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda (back) hit flip tosses in the batting cage on Sunday, and he was expected to progress to running ahead of Monday's series opener against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The Twins will continue to evaluate Miranda's progress and make further determinations on his timetable, but there's some sense that he could potentially begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday if he continues to recover well. The 26-year-old hitting machine was on an absolute tear over his last 14 games before going down with a strained lower back, batting .490 (25-for-51) with a home run, 13 RBI, and 11 runs scored since June 26. Although star third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) should be back soon, Miranda was playing too well to be left on fantasy waiver wires and could be back as soon as Friday's series opener against the division-rival Detroit Tigers.
Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda (back) won't be activated off the injured list on Sunday. The organization was hopeful it would be a minimal stay on the IL for Miranda but that's not the case. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Miranda has shown good improvement but Miranda isn't quite ready to play yet. There is a chance that Miranda does return to the lineup without needing a rehab assignment. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how Miranda feels over the next few days.
