Belts 13th home run Miranda went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win over the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Miranda followed up a solo home run by Luis Arraez with one of his own for back-to-back first inning jacks which gave the Twins all of the offense they needed for the win. The 24-year-old rookie struggled initially in May but he has been remarkably consistent since June. Miranda is finding himself slotted into the cleanup spot as of late and is slashing an excellent .322/.385/.458 in August. He appears to be breaking out and now has 13 home runs and 52 RBI on the season despite only having played in 80 games. With a full season of playing time, he could be a 100 RBI player at the thin third base position.

Miranda is putting together a strong August, batting .322 (19-for-59) through 15 games to boost his slash line on the season to .286/.332/.473 with 12 homers and 51 RBI in 79 contests.

The corner infielder is up to a .283/.330/.461 slash line with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base and 15 doubles through 288 plate appearances, and he's emerged as a fixture in the heart of the Twins' order.

The recent surge has him up to a .277/.325/.477 slash line with 11 homers, 46 RBI, 28 runs scored, 14 doubles and a stolen base through 70 contests.

Drives in pair in win Miranda went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in a 9-1 win Sunday in Detroit.

Impact Miranda drove in a run after being beaned in the first, singled and scored in both the seventh and eighth innings and drove in a run with a single in the ninth. It was the rookie's third three-hit game of the season. After struggling in his first month in the big leagues, the 24-year-old has produced a .322/.370/.534 line with six homers in 127 plate appearances dating back to June 3. All three of his hits came against right-handed pitchers, albeit the last one coming off a position player, raising his average to .252 against righties.

Getting steady playing time Miranda will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the White Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miranda will crack the lineup for the fourth time in five games, this time filling in for a resting Gio Urshela at the hot corner. The designated-hitter spot may represent Miranda's clearest path to a full-time gig at the moment, as Gary Sanchez is expected to move off the non-defensive role to take over as the Twins' No. 1 catcher with Ryan Jeffers (thumb) having been placed on the injured list earlier this weekend. The Twins should get Miguel Sano (knee) back from the 60-day IL following the All-Star break, however, with he and Miranda likely to vie for one spot in the team's everyday lineup.

Slugs walk-off homer Miranda went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact Miranda was the hero Wednesday as he slugged a walk-off home run in the ninth inning -- his eighth long ball of the season. He's started 11 of the Twins' last 14 games -- primarily at first base -- and after the performance, he's hitting .348 with four home runs, 16 RBI and five runs scored in that span. Though Miranda isn't locked into a single position, he has certainly helped his cause to remain a regular in the lineup with his recent performance. Miranda owns a .260/.299/.463 line across 187 plate appearances overall this season.

Heads to bench Tuesday Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miranda is without a clear path to everyday playing time, but the Twins should continue to carve out a part-time role for the rookie while he's swinging a hot bat. Though he'll be on the bench Tuesday, Miranda had started in six of the Twins' past seven games while going 6-for-22 with two home runs, a double, two walks, seven RBI and three runs.

Poaching starts from Urshela Miranda will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Miranda will pick up his third start in a row and has now replaced Gio Urshela at third base on two of those occasions. Now that the Twins have nearly all of their key everyday players back from the injured list, the hot corner looks as though it could represent Miranda's most realistic path to consistent playing time moving forward. Urshela still remains atop the depth chart, but Miranda has outperformed him since the rookie was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on May 30. In the month-plus since that time, Miranda has produced an .824 OPS, a mark 89 points higher than Urshela's.

Drives in three Miranda went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Guardians.

Impact Miranda accounted for all of the Twins' offensive production with a bases-clearing double in the third inning. He's had an inconsistent role in the lineup since Alex Kirilloff returned, though, Miranda has started three consecutive games during which he's tallied four hits with four RBI and a run scored. Overall, Miranda is hitting .240/.275/.418 across 153 plate appearances on the season.

Two extra-base hits in twin bill Miranda went 3-for-7 with a solo home run and a double while starting both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Impact Miranda started at third base for a resting Gio Urshela in the early game, then stepped in for the lefty-hitting Alex Kirilloff in the nightcap while the Twins brought southpaw Konnor Pilkington to the hill. Prior to Tuesday, Miranda hadn't started in any of the Twins' previous three contests, and the rookie may have to settle for a short-side platoon role after Jorge Polanco (back) returned from the injured list for the second game of the twin bill to create further crowding in the Minnesota infield.

May lose work to Kirilloff Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Miranda has posted an .884 OPS in June and seems to be hitting his stride after a rough start to his big-league career, but he may have to settle for a part-time role following the recent call-up of Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul. The rookie will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Aaron Civale) for the second time in three games while Kirilloff starts at first base and Gary Sanchez serves as the Twins' designated hitter.

Gets fifth straight start Miranda will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Miranda will draw his fifth start in a row, despite seeing his five-game hitting streak come to an end in Tuesday's 5-0 loss with an 0-for-3, two-strikeout performance. The rookie has indirectly benefited from the Twins missing some lineup regulars in the past couple of weeks, but as long as Jorge Polanco's sore back doesn't force him to the 10-day injured list, Miranda could be moving to a part-time role soon.
