Jose Miranda

It's possible he could begin the season on the injured list or in the minor leagues if he's set back far enough, perhaps opening a spot on the Padres bench for Ty France or Jose Miranda. Song initially suffered the oblique injury in January during a batting practice session. He looks unlikely to have short-term fantasy value at the start of the season based on this update.

Miranda wouldn't seem to have much of a chance of making the Padres after the additions of Miguel Andujar and Nick Castellanos, but what if he keeps this up? Prior to a disastrous 2025 that saw him bat just .195 in Triple-A, the 27-year-old Miranda was a reasonably productive hitter for the Twins in both 2022 and '24. If he's recovered from that, he's really not much different from Andujar as a player. Still, it's going to take more than two games, of course.
