Jose Miranda Out Again On Thursday
20 seconds agoMinnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda is on the bench for the second straight day on Thursday against the visiting Houston Astros at Target Field. Willi Castro is making the start at the hot corner and will hit sixth versus Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Miranda has an opportunity for regular playing time at third base early on in 2025 due to Royce Lewis' (hamstring) latest injury, but so far he hasn't taken advantage by going 3-for-18 with two RBI, a run scored, no walks and six strikeouts in his first five games played. The 26-year-old Puerto Rican infielder may need to pick it up at the plate soon in order to keep Castro from spelling him more often at third. Castro, who also hails from Puerto Rico, is 5-for-20 early on with a homer and three RBI. He's faced Brown eight times in his MLB career and is hitting .625 against him with one RBI.
