Miranda (back) will be placed on the injured list Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Miranda was a late scratch Friday due to lower-back stiffness and he didn't take the field Saturday. With the All-Star break coming this week, Minnesota decided that it'd be best to give Miranda extended time off to let the back issue heal. Diego Castillo is expected to be called up in a corresponding move and should help out at third base behind Brooks Lee while Miranda is sidelined.
