Jose Miranda Feels "Pretty Good"
11 months agoMinnesota Twins corner infielder Jose Miranda (shoulder) had scar tissue removed from his labrum and rotator cuff on Oct. 4 and was given a timeline of three to four months and feels "pretty good." He's currently hitting off a machine and started throwing two weeks ago. "There are some days it feels good, some days it feels so-so," Miranda said. His expectation would be to start playing as a DH in spring training and eventually work his way to the field. The 25-year-old was able to clean up his swing mechanics after the surgery and has liked how he's been feeling. Shortstop Carlos Correa saw video of Miranda's hitting sessions and was impressed. The Puerto Rican infielder impressed with 15 homers in his rookie season in 2022 but played in just 40 games due to injury last year. When healthy, the Twins could ease him in as a platoon option at first base next to Alex Kirilloff (shoulder), who also has health questions.
