Jose Miranda News
The Minnesota Twins optioned third baseman Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday and reinstated shortstop Kyle Farmer (mouth) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Miranda really turned heads in his rookie season in 2022, but the 24-year-old could use a little breather at the plate after beginning his sophomore campaign with a .220/.275/.318 slash line with four doubles, three home runs, 13 RBI and 23 strikeouts in 142 plate appearances and 35 games. Miranda's fantasy managers have to hope that it won't take too long for him to figure things out in the minors before returning to the big leagues as the team's everyday player. With Miranda sent down, expect Farmer and Willi Castro to split playing time at the hot corner moving forward in Minnesota.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. This will be Miranda's first day of rest so far in 2023. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Willi Castro, who is starting at the hot corner and hitting eighth against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Miranda has picked things up recently at the plate and is now hitting .243 (26-for-107) with three doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored in 28 games played for the Twins. The 24-year-old Puerto Rican has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with a double, three home runs and five RBI in his last 11 games since April 19.
Minnesota Twins DH Jose Miranda went 2-for-3 with two homers, three runs, and three RBI in a 12-6 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Miranda came into the game with zero homers in 2023 but he changed that with a solo homer in the second inning. He then came back in the fourth with a two-run blast. Miranda is now hitting .240 with nine runs and 11 RBI across 96 at-bats. The 24-year-old has a plus bat and should be rostered in deeper fantasy leagues moving forward.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda is going into his second season after coming onto the scene in 2022 and impressing. He hit .268, slugged 15 home runs, stole one base, scored 45 runs, and drove in 66 over 125 games. Still, Miranda projects as a pretty boring hitter in fantasy baseball moving forward. He only struck out 18.8% of the time and always had low strikeout rates in the minors, but he doesn't hit the ball exceptionally hard (55th-percentile average exit velocity in 2022) and has little speed, posting a 25th-percentile sprint speed. There's no reason Miranda can't be a consistent 20-homer guy, but that's likely his ceiling. The 24-year-old hardly barreled balls this season with a 6.2% rate, and his 109.4 MPH max exit velocity isn't that impressive. He also plays in a tough division to go yard in with many big outfields. Miranda's going to hit in a solid lineup but won't be much more than a 70-runs and RBI player, as Steamer projects (64 runs, 71 RBI). In real life, the Puerto Rican is a quality young bat but is just above average in four categories and a nonfactor in stolen bases. His ADP suggests otherwise, though, as Miranda's going around pick 155, ahead of more intriguing third basemen like Matt Chapman (162 ADP) and Ke'Bryan Hayes (165 ADP), as well as Anthony Rizzo (156 ADP) and Rowdy Tellez (178 ADP) at first base.
