The 24-year-old Miranda hit .268 with 15 home runs and 66 RBI in 125 games last year after being called up because he was dominating the minor leagues.
But in 35 games this season, he has been shaky at third base and is hitting .220 with three home runs and 13 RBI.
Farmer has completed his rehab assignment at St. Paul as he recovers from being hit in the face by a pitch from Lucas Giolito of the White Sox on April 12. The 32-year-old infielder missed 24 games after dental surgery that included four root canals. He hit .308 during his four-game rehab assignment; with the Twins he is hitting .226 with a home run in 11 games.
Gerrit Cole gave up his opt-out right on Monday and will remain with the New York Yankees under a contract that runs through 2028 rather than become a free agent.
