EDGE Analysis

Miranda sat out Monday's 15-2 loss after he was struck in the head by a pitch a day earlier in Detroit, but he returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 2-0 loss, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The Twins haven't indicated that Miranda experienced any setbacks in his return to the lineup, so his absence from the starting nine Wednesday is likely just maintenance-related.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda was struck in the head by a fastball during the opening inning, and the pitch appeared to hit the ear flap of his helmet.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins reinstated Miranda (back) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda went 3-for-6 with two walks during his two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul and checked out fine after going through a pregame workout with the Twins on Friday, so he will now officially return from the injured list. The 26-year-old infielder has yet to play a game in the second half, though he had turned in a cool .515 batting average and 1.300 OPS through 35 plate appearances in July before getting injured. Edouard Julien was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Miranda (back) will not be activate prior to Friday's game in Detroit but could return Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda has rejoined the Twins following a brief rehab assignment and will go through a workout pregame Friday. As long as that goes well, it sounds like he'll be back in the lineup Saturday. Miranda has yet to play during the second half due to a lower-back strain.

Miranda (back) will report to Triple-A St. Paul to start a rehab assignment Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old landed on the injured list just before the All-Star break due to a lower-back strain, and he's on track to return after missing little more than the 10-day minimum. Miranda could get in two rehab games with St. Paul and potentially be with the MLB club for Friday's series opener in Detroit.

Miranda (back) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miranda has progressed nicely of late in his recovery from lower-back tightness and his clearance for game action appears imminent. If all goes well, he's likely to need just a couple rehab games before rejoining the Twins ahead of Friday's game in Detroit. With Royce Lewis (adductor) also tracking toward a return Friday to take over at third base, Miranda could see most of his starts at designated hitter.
