Twins' Jose Miranda: Bound for Triple-A
The Twins optioned Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Miranda will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to infielder Kyle Farmer (mouth), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. While Miranda's impending demotion is shocking on the surface following his impressive rookie campaign in 2022, the 24-year-old is in the midst of a prolonged funk at the plate. He's gone just 6-for-36 over his last 10 games and is slashing .220/.275/.318 on the season, with his .593 OPS representing a 158-point drop from 2022. Ideally, Miranda will be in store for a brief stint in the minors to regain confidence and get his timing back at the plate before he steps back into an everyday role with the Twins at third base. In the meantime, the Twins are likely to turn to a combination of Farmer and Willi Castro to handle the hot corner.

Twins' Jose Miranda: Hits first two homers of season
Miranda went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 12-6 loss to the Yankees.
Miranda's first homer of the season cut the Yankees' lead to 5-1 in the second, and his second, a two-run blast, made it 11-3 in the fourth. The 25-year-old came into the contest slashing just .226/.287/.247, so his first two homers of the season could be a sign of better things to come. Either way, Miranda has appeared in 24 of Minnesota's first 25 games, so he appears to be an everyday player in his second big-league campaign.

Twins' Jose Miranda: On base thrice in win
Mirando went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Twins.
Miranda found himself on base in the second, third, fifth and eighth inning, although his last time getting on was due to a fielder's choice. He came across to put the Twins up 3-1 in the fifth after walking in the inning. The 24-year-old has begun to turn things around at the plate, tallying seven hits over his last five games after he had just 14 total over his first 17 games. Miranda has yet to leave the yard thus far, and hopefully his recent surge is a sign of better things to come.

Twins' Jose Miranda: Continues slow April
Miranda went 0-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. He's hitting .209 (14-for-67) with just two extra-base hits in 17 games this season.
Miranda is off to a slow start, but there's been no sign of him potentially losing his job as he's been a fixture at third base. He's making contact (18.4% K%) and has a .286 xBA (according to Baseball Savant), so there is some hope for a turnaround soon.
