Miranda was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Padres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda inked a minor-league contract with San Diego in December, and he was able to join the team as a non-roster invitee during spring training. The 27-year-old compiled a strong .304 average with two home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored over 46 at-bats in 22 contests during Cactus League action. Miranda is now likely headed to Triple-A El Paso for the beginning of the 2026 campaign.

Through two spring games, Miranda has gone 5-for-6 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two runs and six RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda joined San Diego on a minor-league deal in December. While he's still probably a long shot to break camp on the big-league roster, the former Minnesota Twin has likely helped his chances with his torrid hitting to begin the spring slate. In Miranda's favor in his bid to make the roster is the fact that he can play first base, which is the most unsettled position for the Padres at the moment. Miranda has also shown flashes of strong hitting in previous major-league stints, including as recently as 2024, when he slashed .284/.322/.441 with nine homers, 49 RBI, 44 runs and two stolen bases across 121 games while with Minnesota.

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 is in St. Paul's lineup at third base Friday after missing the previous month with a strained left hand. He hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion in mid-April.

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.
