Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda went 2-for-4 with two runs and a solo home run in Thursday's victory against the Chicago White Sox. The home run would be Miranda's second in the year and gives him four RBI. The once heralded prospect opened the season in Triple-A St. Paul, but he has been playing most days with Royce Lewis (quadriceps) and Carlos Correa (oblique) both sidelined. Since his call-up on April 8, Miranda is hitting .231 in 39 at-bats. He is worth watching in deeper formats, due to potential and opportunity, but he could also be optioned back to St. Paul when Correa and Lewis return if he does not start hitting more.
Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of the team's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. With right-handed pitcher Daniel Duarte heading to the 15-day injured list with a triceps strain, Minnesota called up Miranda to help an offense that has scored just 12 runs over the last 45 innings. The third baseman bounced around the majors and minors last season and only hit .211 with three home runs and 13 RBI across 40 games with the Twins. As a result, he isn't a player that fantasy managers should be running to the waiver wire to pick up. However, in his last full season in 2022, he hit a respectable .268 at the plate with 15 HRs and 66 RBI across 125 games. So, he could be a player to consider in extremely deep formats.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (shoulder) has gone 3-for-8 in Grapefruit League games this spring, all while serving as designated hitter. However, the 25-year-old expects to progress to the field early the week of March 4, with a defensive focus on first base. The former fantasy prospect dealt with right shoulder pain for all of 2023 and posted uninspiring numbers with both the Twins and Triple-A St. Paul. Miranda underwent surgery to clean up the scar tissue around the rotator cuff in his right shoulder at the beginning of October. While he may not have a big-league spot to start 2024, Miranda is worth keeping an eye on this spring to see if a healthier start can help him realize some of his potential.
Minnesota Twins corner infielder Jose Miranda (shoulder) had scar tissue removed from his labrum and rotator cuff on Oct. 4 and was given a timeline of three to four months and feels "pretty good." He's currently hitting off a machine and started throwing two weeks ago. "There are some days it feels good, some days it feels so-so," Miranda said. His expectation would be to start playing as a DH in spring training and eventually work his way to the field. The 25-year-old was able to clean up his swing mechanics after the surgery and has liked how he's been feeling. Shortstop Carlos Correa saw video of Miranda's hitting sessions and was impressed. The Puerto Rican infielder impressed with 15 homers in his rookie season in 2022 but played in just 40 games due to injury last year. When healthy, the Twins could ease him in as a platoon option at first base next to Alex Kirilloff (shoulder), who also has health questions.
