Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda faced a tough week, worsened by a freak injury after being optioned to the minors. While shopping at a Target in Minneapolis, he sustained a strained left hand trying to catch a falling case of water, leading to his placement on the Triple-A injured list. Miranda, who struggled with a .167 batting average and was demoted following a baserunning mistake, will be sidelined for at least seven days, although the Twins have not specified a timeline for his recovery.
