Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Miranda resurrected his career after an injury-plagued 2023 season and put himself in position for an everyday role in 2024. Miranda hit just .211 with a .565 OPS in 2023 as he struggled with right shoulder issues that required offseason surgery to remove scar tissue from his labrum and rotator cuff. He began last season in the minors, but caught fire when called up in April by hitting .313 with nine home runs and an .852 OPS in his first 90 games, which included tying a major-league record by recording a hit in his 12 consecutive at-bats in early July. Like the rest of the Twins, he struggled the final six weeks by hitting .202 with a .491 OPS in his last 30 games, in part due to a back injury that required an IL stint. Miranda makes good contact due to a low strikeout rate (15.4%) and he was in the 83rd percentile in Squared-Up Rate (according to Baseball Savant). He didn't hit for as much power as in his breakout 2022 season, but may have been unlucky with a 6.3% HR/FB rate. His defense at third base has been mediocre to below average by most metrics and he doesn't hit for enough power to justify everyday duty at first base or DH. Still, he'll be in the mix for frequent duty at both corner spots again with the Twins as part of the infield mix. Read Past Outlooks
Likely to open season at hot corner
Miranda could be primed to see the bulk of the starts at third base for the Twins to begin the season with both Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back) headed for the injured list, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
After Lewis suffered a moderate hamstring strain March 16, Miranda already appeared in good shape to see near-everyday at-bats while seeing reps at third base, first base and designated hitter, but the back injury Lee sustained last week only further increases the need for Miranda to fill in at the hot corner. The Twins also have super-utility man Willi Castro on hand to play third, but the injury to Lee as well as Edouard Julien's defensive deficiencies likely make Castro in greater need at second base. After Lewis got injured Opening Day of last season, Miranda stepped in as his primary replacement and posted an .852 OPS over his first 90 games with the Twins, but he struggled down the stretch while also managing a back injury and finished with a .284/.322/.441 slash line in 429 plate appearances. If Miranda can recapture the form he displayed in the first half of the 2024 campaign, he should be in good shape to hold down a regular spot in the lineup at DH or first base once Lewis and Lee are back to full health.

Stat Review
How does Jose Miranda compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Minnesota could mull trade
The Twins could listen to trade offers for Miranda this offseason, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Since Miranda is not yet arbitration-eligible and under team control through 2028, there is no rush to trade him unless the Twins are bowled over by an offer. However, Minnesota has a bevy of infield options so it's possible Miranda has more value as a trade piece. The 26-year-old slashed .284/.322/.441 with nine home runs over 121 contests in 2024.
