• Padres' Jose Miranda: Sent to minor-league camp

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2026

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

• Padres' Jose Miranda: Making strong first impression

  Rotowire Feb 21, 2026

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

  Rotowire Dec 19, 2025

  The Padres signed Miranda to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

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.

• Jose Miranda: Enters free agency

  Rotowire Nov 6, 2025

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.

• Twins' Jose Miranda: Fans three times Tuesday

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2025

  Miranda went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Kansas City. Miranda struck out swinging on all three plate appearances Tuesday. He's been punched out 13 times across 32 plate appearances to start the 2025 season and is slashing .156/.156/.250 with one home run and five RBI. Miranda has been getting some extended time at third base due to Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back) both being on the 10-day injured list.

• Twins' Jose Miranda: Could be primary DH

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2025

  Miranda will likely be the primary DH For the Twins this season but should also get playing time at first base and third base, Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. He started at first base in his spring debut Sunday and went 1-for-2. Miranda should get almost everyday playing time between the three positions as the Twins are likely to rotate players to give them off days. He looks healthy after he struggled the final six weeks last season, hitting .202 with a .491 OPS in his last 30 games, in part due to a back injury that required an IL stint.
