The Padres signed Miranda to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda showed promise at times while with the Twins, but he crashed out in 2025, going 6-for-36 with the big club and hitting only .195/.272/.296 across 371 plate appearances at Triple-A St. Paul. Still, the 27-year-old is a solid get on a minor-league contract, and there's a non-zero chance he pushes for playing time at first base in San Diego.

Miranda cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After posting a .763 OPS in the big leagues in 2024, Miranda's performance declined considerably in 2025, as he slashed just .195/.272/.296 across 371 plate appearances at Triple-A St. Paul. His previous success could net him a fair amount of attention in free agency, though his options will likely be limited to minor-league contracts.

Miranda (hand) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis

Miranda (left hand) took batting practice Tuesday and also did fielding drills at third base, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
He could return from the 7-day injured list later this week. Miranda was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on April 13 after a poor start to the season. Before he could play a game for St. Paul, he suffered a strained left hand while shopping on his day off.

Miranda was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend but will shift to the injured list before seeing game action with St. Paul. If it's determined that Miranda suffered the injury before being demoted, the Twins will need to call him back up to put him on the MLB injured list.

The Twins optioned Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda will head to Triple-A after slashing an abysmal .167/.167/.250 over his 36 plate appearances on the season while offering little value in the field or on the basepaths. The Twins reinstated infielder Brooks Lee (back) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Twins are planning to option Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul following Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Tigers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda has struggled to start the season, slashing .167/.167/.250 with one home run, five RBI and 13 strikeouts across 36 plate appearances. His baserunning blunder in the eighth frame of Saturday's game seemed to be the final straw for the club. Brooks Lee (back) is expected to be activated off the injured list to take Miranda's spot on the 26-man roster.

Miranda is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda has been scuffling at the plate out of the gates this season, slashing .143/.143/.229 with one home run, five RBI and two runs scored across 35 plate appearances. Miranda has struck out 13 times and drawn zero walks. With Miranda taking a seat, Willi Castro is starting at third base, and Edouard Julien is manning second base.

Miranda went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda struck out swinging on all three plate appearances Tuesday. He's been punched out 13 times across 32 plate appearances to start the 2025 season and is slashing .156/.156/.250 with one home run and five RBI. Miranda has been getting some extended time at third base due to Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back) both being on the 10-day injured list. However, if Miranda doesn't improve at the plate, he could see his playing time dip if the Twins opt to shift Willi Castro to the hot corner while giving Edouard Julien more looks at the keystone.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Miranda went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer, but he'll still sit Sunday for the third time in Minnesota's past four games. Trevor Larnach will receive another turn at designated hitter with Harrison Bader starting in left field.
