The Athletic’s Dan Hayes reports Miranda hurt his hand earlier this week when he dropped a case of water while shopping at Target. It’s one of the more bizarre injuries you’re going to see all season. The problem here is that the Twins are dealing with several injuries at the big-league level and Miranda won’t be an option to replace them.

Ryan, who had significant velocity issues this spring while making his way back from a shoulder injury, averaged 94.2 mph with his heater tonight, which was up slightly from his career-best average of 93.9 mph last season. He’ll probably be a top-10 or -15 SP if he keeps that up and if the Twins start giving him some additional help. He’ll face the Orioles next.

Lee put Minnesota on the scoreboard with an eighth-inning solo shot off reliever Hunter Gaddis. The 24-year-old former top prospect figures to continue playing regularly between second and third base until Willi Castro (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

López carried a shutout into the seventh inning before the Guardians finally broke through when he launched an ill-advised throw down the first-base line on Carlos Santana’s infield single, which allowed José Ramírez to scamper home on the play. He was charged with an additional run when Brock Stewart coughed up a three-run homer following his departure. He struck out six and didn’t hand out a free pass, but was still saddled with a loss in this one. He’ll bring a sparkling 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 26/4 K/BB ratio across 28 innings (five starts) into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Orioles.

Where has this version of Báez been? It’s sure fun to see now, and fun to see him appear to enjoy the sport of baseball again. With the two-run homer, he’s now slashing .300/.337/.467 with three roundtrippers and 14 RBI over 90 at-bats. He’s gone deep in three straight games, and while it’s understandable if fantasy managers are skeptical, it’s also not crazy to think he’s capable of being a fantasy helper in 2025. Weirder things have happened, folks.

Smith hit a homer to bring the Rangers to within a dozen in the ninth inning. Still counts. The 27-year-old has been one of the few effective hitters for the Texas offense with a .296/.380/.457 slash with three homers and seven RBI in his 81 at-bats.

Fortunately, it sounds like the 32-year-old superstar was able to avoid any significant injury on Friday after getting injured while attempting to evade a throw at first base while hustling out an infield single in the third inning. He may wind up needing a couple of days off, or to serve as the Guardians’ designated hitter for a few games, but it doesn’t sound like he should be looking at a stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers can now exhale.
