Shawn Childs advised fantasy managers to consider Jose Miranda as a short-term starting fantasy third baseman while Royce Lewis remains sidelined. Miranda previously displayed legitimate power (15 home runs in 444 rookie at-bats) and improved batting average in 2024 (.284). Despite a slow start (only three hits through 19 at-bats), Miranda has both the playing time commitment and historical batting upside that justify an investment until Lewis returns to action.
