• Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Three hits in third game

  Rotowire Jun 3, 2025

  Estrada went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins. In just his third game back since returning to the lineup from a wrist injury, Estrada put on a show, picking up three hits and driving in his second run of the season. There's still some rust to shake off, specifically in the field where the 29-year-old has made two errors already, but the bat getting going is a good sign for Estrada, who should be the Rockies' everyday second baseman moving forward.

• Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Ready for rehab assignment

  Rotowire May 22, 2025

  Estrada (wrist) was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment. Estrada has been cleared to play in games after being sidelined all season with a fractured right wrist. The 29-year-old participated in most of spring training before sustaining the injury, but he'll still likely require a fair amount of rehab games to get his timing back at the plate before making his Rockies debut. Once activated from the 60-day injured list, Estrada is likely to become the Rockies' primary second baseman, and his hitter-friendly home venue makes him a worthy roster stash in fantasy leagues where he's available.

• Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Out with fractured wrist

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2025

  Estrada was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist Friday and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-8 weeks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. The second baseman suffered the injury Wednesday on a hit-by-pitch and will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Estrada is scheduled to undergo another set of X-rays in about four weeks, so his absence is likely to run through mid-May, at least. In the meantime, the Rockies plan to give Kyle Farmer significant run at the keystone to begin the season. Prospect Adael Amador might also get a look if he has a quick start to the campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque.

• Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Nabs one-year deal with Colorado

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2024

  The Rockies agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with Estrada on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Estrada slashed only .217/.247/.343 over 96 games for the Giants in 2024 and finished the season off the 40-man roster. However, the 28-year-old infielder hit .266/.319/.408 while averaging 14 home runs and 22 stolen bases from 2022 to 2023. He should slot in at second base for the Rockies and immediately gains some fantasy appeal playing half his games at Coors Field. The deal includes a mutual option for 2026 with a $750,000 buyout.

• Giants' Thairo Estrada: One hit in return

  Rotowire Aug 20, 2024

  Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox. Estrada was part of the Giants' fifth-inning rally, scoring the team's first run on a Curt Casali single. This was Estrada's first game since July 25 after he missed time with a left wrist sprain. He should resume a role as the Giants' primary second baseman, as Casey Schmitt is hitting just .176 in August. Estrada has a poor .216/.249/.351 slash line with nine home runs, 43 RBI, 42 runs scored, one stolen base and 14 doubles over 88 contests this year.

Estrada has been shelved for nearly three weeks with a sprained left wrist but is almost ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster. Because he hasn't missed much time, Estrada would appear likely to be activated for the weekend series in Oakland which begins Saturday.

• Giants' Thairo Estrada: Lands on IL

  Rotowire Jul 26, 2024

  The Giants placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Friday with a sprained left wrist. Estrada landed on the injured list in late June due to a left wrist sprain, and the same injury will now force him back onto the IL roughly one month later. He was able to return to the active roster after 11 days following his previous IL stint, though it's unclear if he'll require a longer absence this time around. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to provide infield depth, and he'll likely split reps at second base with Brett Wisely until Estrada returns.
