Lands on IL The Twins placed Miranda on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back strain.
Impact With only two games left in the regular season and the Twins out of the running for a playoff spot, Miranda's move to the IL will rule him out for the rest of 2024. The 26-year-old will finish the season with a .284/.322/.441 slash line alongside nine home runs and 49 RBI across 429 plate appearances. Michael Helman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Not in Friday's lineup Miranda (back) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Orioles.
Impact Miranda had to be scratched from Thursday's lineup due to lower-back tightness and evidently still isn't feeling well enough to play. The Twins have Ryan Jeffers at designated hitter and Christian Vazquez at catcher in the series opener.

Scratched from lineup Miranda was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Marlins due to lower-back tightness, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact The severity of Miranda's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough to cause him to sit down for the third time in Minnesota's last four games. In his absence, Royce Lewis will now serve as the Twins' designated hitter while Willi Castro moves to third base and Austin Martin enters the lineup to play left field.

Sits for third time in four games Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds,
Impact On the bench for the third time in four games against a right-hander, Miranda looks as though he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role after the Twins recently welcomed back Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa back from the injured list. Miranda should still have a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed pitching.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Hitting bench Wednesday Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Miranda will hit the bench after he had started in each of the Twins' first 10 games of September while slashing .268/.268/.341. Though he's not locked into a full-time role at any one spot in the Minnesota lineup, Miranda should continue to benefit from near-everyday playing time while moving between first base, third base and designated hitter.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Opportunities picking up Miranda will start at first base and bat second in Sunday's game against the Royals.
Impact Miranda will pick up his eighth consecutive start and has moved between both corner-infield spots in addition to designated hitter during that stretch. His entry into the lineup Sunday comes while Carlos Santana (illness) is on the bench, but the Twins could make Miranda a priority ahead of Santana once the latter player is healthy again. Dating back to the beginning of August, Santana is hitting just .196, while Miranda has upheld a .252 batting average during that same timeframe.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Out of Minnesota lineup Miranda is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Royals.
Impact Miranda has really struggled since returning from the injured list late last month, slashing only .200/.238/.275 in 12 games. Carlos Santana and Royce Lewis will occupy the corner infield spots for the Twins on Monday and Matt Wallner will be at designated hitter.

Heading to bench Wednesday Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Miranda sat out Monday's 15-2 loss after he was struck in the head by a pitch a day earlier in Detroit, but he returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 2-0 loss, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The Twins haven't indicated that Miranda experienced any setbacks in his return to the lineup, so his absence from the starting nine Wednesday is likely just maintenance-related.
