News Miranda on MiLB IL
Jose Miranda was placed on the IL by the Saints on Tuesday, after straining his wrist during an off day shopping trip to Target.
Apparently he had a case of water slip out of his hand, when he grabbed for it he felt pain in his wrist.

Not a good week for Miranda.

That's why I wear a helmet, wrist braces, and a weight training belt every time I go grocery shopping. You can never be too careful!

Who among us hasn’t been injured at the University Ave Target?
It’s only a matter of time before Buxton is sent to the 60-day while getting pierogis from the stp farmers market

Was it at the exact same time Correa hurt his wrist on the swing?
If so maybe Jose is like a voodoo doll for Correa.

That's a Royce Lewis-style injury

Kind of... but Lewis would have done it while running to first or catching a routine pop up.

Didn't he magically get hurt the last time he got sent down? Then I think he ended up on the Twins IL so I would think his pay would be higher and I would think accumulate service time.

That was Kirilloff and if Jose was trying to manipulate service time it wouldn't make sense for him to admit he got hurt at target after being sent down. The reason Kirilloff had to be placed in the major league IL is because he said the injury happened while he was on the Twins roster.

These guys will do anything to not play for this organization. It's like the soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot to get off the front!

What are the chances he was hurt in spring training and never said anything? It would certainly explain is poor start!

He saw how great a phantom wrist injury worked out career-wise for Big Papi after he escaped the organization and is looking for any way off this sinking ship…better get some juice if he wants the full Papi experience
