JOSE MIRANDA NEWS

Three hits, three RBI in win Miranda went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run in Wednesday's victory over the Yankees.

Impact Miranda ripped an RBI single off Nestor Cortes in the bottom of the fourth frame before later adding a double, a run and a two-RBI single. It was the third time in his last four starts where he's recorded multiple hits, going 8-for-16 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs in those contests. With Carlos Correa now back in the fold following a stint on the COVID list, it may be difficult for Miranda to start on a consistent basis, but his recent stretch has certainly helped his chances to crack the lineup.

Retreats to bench Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miranda has produced three home runs while batting .318 over his last six starts, but his playing time could grow more scarce with Max Kepler recently returning from the restricted list and with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to come off the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. The rookie will be taking a seat Tuesday for only the third time in the Twins' last nine contests.

Slugs two homers in win Miranda went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The rookie launched a solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi in the second innings and a two-run blast off Trevor Richards in the sixth as part of a five-homer night for the Twins' offense. Miranda has four hits in 14 at-bats since returning to the majors May 30, with three of them leaving the yard, but his five strikeouts over that stretch remain the biggest obstacle between the 23-year-old and a regular role in the big leagues.

Back in big leagues Miranda was recalled by the Twins on Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miranda was optioned Sunday that Royce Lewis could take his place on the roster, but he'll return one day later as Lewis hits the injured list with a bone bruise in his right knee. Miranda hit a very disappointing .164/.200/.284 in 19 games prior to his demotion, but that brief stretch isn't enough to conclude that he doesn't have what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

Returns to minors Miranda was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact The 23-year-old was called up by the Twins in early May and struggled in his first taste of big-league action with a .164/.200/.284 slash line in 19 games. Miranda will now head back to St. Paul while top prospect Royce Lewis takes his spot on Minnesota's 26-man roster.

MAY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Wednesday Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Miranda is on the bench for the third time in five games and appears to have lost hold of an everyday role following Luis Arraez's recent return from the COVID-19 injured list. The rookie has thus far had a rough introduction to the majors, hitting .096 with a 20.4 percent strikeout rate across 54 plate appearances. If playing time grows more scarce for Miranda, he could be headed back to Triple-A St. Paul in short order.

Out of Sunday's lineup Miranda is not in Sunday's lineup against the Guardians.

Impact He started six of the last seven games but will head to the bench with Luis Arraez starting at first base and Gary Sanchez starting at designated hitter. Miranda is hitting .114 in 11 games since getting the call, and it's possible he will be the odd man out when Carlos Correa (finger) comes off the injured list.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Miranda is starting Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Impact The 23-year-old got a day off in Friday's series opener against the Guardians after starting in 10 consecutive games, but he'll return to the lineup at first base and bat sixth Saturday. Since Luis Arraez has spent plenty of time as the designated hitter recently, Miranda is in line to serve as Minnesota's primary first baseman after Alex Kirilloff was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. Miranda is hitting .128 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs to begin his major-league career.

MAY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Swats first career homer Miranda went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the A's.

Impact In his fifth career MLB game, Miranda got the Twins on the board by taking Zach Logue deep in the second inning for his first career homer. The 23-year-old also flashed his defensive chops -- with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Miranda snagged a slow chopper off the bat of Seth Brown and fired home just in time to get the force out and preserve Minnesota's lead. A third baseman by trade, Miranda has started four games at first base with Miguel Sano (knee) on the shelf, and it looks like he could remain there for a while. Just like this Twins team, he's young, scrappy and hungry, and Miranda's not throwing away his shot at proving he belongs in the majors.

Gets fourth consecutive start Miranda will start at first base and bat eighth Thursday against the Orioles, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Miranda will pick up his fourth straight start since his promotion from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, including his third straight at first base. Though he'll be sitting Thursday against Orioles right-hander Spenser Watkins, the lefty-hitting Luis Arraez is still expected to see steady work at first base against right-handed pitching, but the Twins could still find at-bats for Miranda by moving him to third base or deploying him as a designated hitter. Miranda will have to pick up the pace at the plate to ensure he sticks as a regular in the lineup, however, as he's off to a 1-for-13 start to his big-league career.

Promotion official The Twins recalled Miranda from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Impact As anticipated, the 23-year-old Miranda will receive his first call to the big leagues in the wake of Miguel Sano (knee) and Kyle Garlick (calf) landing on the 10-day injured list. Miranda has turned in a modest .737 OPS over 95 plate appearances at St. Paul this season, but he was named the Twins' minor league player of the year in 2021 after hitting .344 with 62 extra-base hits between stops at Triple-A and Double-A Wichita. Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role with the big club, Miranda's ability to play three infield spots and potentially serve as a designated hitter should allow to pick up at least a handful of starts during his initial taste of the big leagues.

Impact The Twins have yet to make Miranda's promotion official, but with Miguel Sano (knee) moving to the injured list Sunday and Kyle Garlick (calf) on track to join him there Monday, the club has a clear need for another power bat. Miranda should help fill the void, even though he's had a somewhat disappointing start to the season at Triple-A with a .256/.295/.442 slash line across 95 plate appearances. However, the 23-year-old infielder was one of the top hitters in the minors in 2021, as he supplied 30 home runs and 32 doubles while hitting .344 between stops at St. Paul and Double-A Wichita. Expect the Twins to carve out a near-everyday role for Miranda while he's up in the majors, but he'll have to perform at a higher level than he did at Triple-A earlier this season in order to stick around permanently with the big club.

Could be called up by Twins Miranda could be called up by the Twins if Kyle Garlick (calf) is placed on the injured list, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miranda got off to a relatively slow start at Triple-A St. Paul this year but has heated up recently and is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak. During that time, he's slashed .333/.375/.619 with a homer, three doubles, four runs and two RBI. The extent of Garlick's right calf tightness isn't yet known, but manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday that the injury isn't "the most minor of occurrences." Miranda is among the Twins' top prospects and hasn't yet made his major-league debut despite slashing .344/.401/.572 with 30 homers, 97 runs, 94 RBI and four steals in the minors last year. Miranda was off to a slow start at Triple-A (hitting .256 with a .737 OPS), but is hitting .300/.351/.520 with a homer in his last 57 plate appearances. The Twins are in need of right-handed bats with Miguel Sano on the IL and Garlick hurt.

Candidate to be called up Miranda could be recalled from Triple-A St. Paul if Kyle Garlick has to go on the injured list with a calf injury, Dan Hayes reports.

Impact The Twins are in need of right-handed bats with Miguel Sano on the IL and Garlick hurt. Miranda was off to a slow start at Triple-A (hitting .256 with a .737 OPS), but is hitting .300/.351/.520 with a homer in his last 57 plate appearances. The Twins will likely make a decision in the next day or two.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slow start at Triple-A Miranda is hitting .236 with one home run and a .667 OPS through 17 games at Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Miranda entered spring training with an outside shot to win a role in the majors, but a callup in the near future now looks very unlikely. Miranda's slow start in the minors isn't anything to be overly concerned about given the small sample size, although he's striking out a tad more (16.5% K%), but he's not forcing the issue to be called up. Meanwhile, the Twins are getting decent production at third base between Luis Arraez and Gio Urshela. An injury in the majors could always change the equation, but Miranda will likely need to put in a long hot stretch at Triple-A before getting consideration.

Optioned to Triple-A Miranda was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Impact Miranda sustained a bruised jaw last weekend, but he wasn't forced to miss additional time due to the injury. The 23-year-old went 3-for-12 with three RBI, a run, a walk and a strikeout across eight Grapefruit League games this spring. While he'll begin the season in the minors, he's a strong candidate to be called up fairly early in the regular season after he slashed .343/.397/.563 with 17 homers, 61 runs and 56 RBI across 80 games in St. Paul last year.

Back in action Miranda (jaw) entered Saturday's game against Atlanta as a substitute, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miranda left Friday's game against the Pirates with a bruised jaw after getting struck in the face by an errant throw, but he avoided serious injury. He's back in action just one day later, so he should be able to continue making his push for an Opening Day roster spot. Whether or not he'll be given a legitimate chance to break camp with the team is unclear, but he could eventually be part of the plan to replace Josh Donaldson at third base.
