2024 Fantasy Outlook
Miranda failed to capitalize on an opportunity to win an everyday role with the Twins amid a shoulder issue and his future role with the organization isn't clear. Despite dealing with a sore shoulder in spring training, Miranda began the season as Minnesota's everyday third baseman. He struggled and was soon sent to Triple-A on May 10 after hitting just .220/.275/.318. Miranda wasn't much better at Triple-A, where he hit just .255/.326/.360 in 39 games. His shoulder issues soon resurfaced and he had season-ending surgery in September. Miranda was a late bloomer in the minors where he hit .344/.401/.572 with 30 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A in 2021 at age 23. He then hit .287 with a .797 OPS in his final 106 games in 2022. The above-average power he displayed in 2022 cratered in 2023 (just a .092 IS0) though he maintained a good strikeout rate (15.8% K%). Meanwhile, Royce Lewis returned from a torn ACL and established himself at third base and several other corner infield prospects emerged. He'll need to show his sharp decline last season was due to the shoulder injury in order to factor into the corner infield mix again. Read Past Outlooks
On bench in second straight
Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Miranda and Kyle Farmer had recently been part of a timeshare at third base, but both could see their playing time against right-handed pitching take a hit moving forward after shortstop Carlos Correa (intercostal) was reinstated from the injured list Monday. With Correa back in the fold, Willi Castro -- who had been serving as the primary shortstop while Correa was on the shelf -- could end up seeing the bulk of the starts at the hot corner until Royce Lewis (quadricep) is ready to return from the 10-day IL.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Part-time role likely
Manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday that Miranda won't be the Twins' everyday third baseman but should see "some" time at the position, reports Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Royce Lewis is unavailable for the foreseeable future due to a quadriceps strain, and it appears Baldelli plans to use a mix of Willi Castro, Kyle Farmer and Miranda to cover the hot corner. Miranda is viewed mostly as a first baseman and designated hitter at this point, which limits his potential for playing time. The 25-year-old had 15 homers and a .751 OPS as a rookie in 2022 but saw action in just 40 big-league games last season, struggling to a .211/.263/.303 slash line.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Miranda had an impressive rookie season by hitting 15 home runs with a .751 OPS, showing his late-blooming minor league career was no fluke. Miranda hit .344/.401/.572 with 30 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A in 2021 at age 23, but began 2022 in the minors. He was called up in early May, but hit just .164/.200/.284 in 19 games and was sent back down. Given a second chance when called up at the end of May, he caught fire and hit .287 with a .797 OPS in his final 106 games, splitting time between third base and first base and becoming a regular in the lineup. Miranda features above average power (55th percentile Avg. Exit Velocity and 63rd percentile Hard Hit rate) with strong contact rates (79.5%) and above-average strikeout rates (18.5%). He's a below-average glove at third base, which could hinder him from finding a regular spot in the lineup without the premium power needed at first base or DH. Still, Miranda has enough of a well-rounded skill set at the plate to find his way into regular playing time.
