Thairo Estrada - Page 17 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Reinstated from injured list Estrada (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Estrada missed nearly a week due to an illness but will start during Friday's matchup against the Padres. While it's not clear whether the 26-year-old ever tested positive for COVID-19, he should reclaim his job as the primary second baseman now that he's back with the team.

Goes on COVID-19 IL The Giants placed Estrada (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list prior to Sunday's game against the White Sox, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Estrada hasn't played since being scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's series opener with a sore throat, and though he hasn't tested positive for the virus, the fact that he's experienced symptoms of an illness for 24 hours will be enough for the Giants to place him on the IL. He'll be eligible to return to the active roster as soon as he sheds his symptoms and continues to test negative, but fantasy managers in weekly leagues likely won't feel comfortable including him in active lineups if he isn't cleared before Monday's series opener in Arizona. The Giants called up Yermin Mercedes from Triple-A Sacramento to replace Estrada on the roster.

He's hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-27 (.259) with two homers, four RBI, six runs and two stolen bases in that span. The 26-year-old has settled in with a .264/.320/.400 slash line, six homers, 11 steals in 13 attempts, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 259 plate appearances. With Brandon Crawford still shaking off a knee injury, Estrada could shift over from second base to shortstop on occasion in the short term.

Swats fifth homer Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Estrada looked to be the hero with his game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning, but Jack Suwinski walked it off for the Pirates in the bottom half of the frame. Through 17 games in June, Estrada is 11-for-52 (.212) with three of his five homers on the year. Overall, he's slashing .264/.319/.398 with 27 RBI, 36 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 12 doubles and a triple in 62 contests. Despite the poor hitting form of late, he's maintained a near-everyday role at second base since Tommy La Stella has more often served as the designated hitter.

The second baseman is 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts on the season. With a .357/.438/.500 batting line over his last 17 games, the 26-year-old has come to life at the plate after a slow start.

Impact Estrada's biggest contribution Friday was a two-run homer in the fifth inning. The second baseman's playing time has been slipping, but late scratches Thursday and Friday have allowed him to stay in the lineup. He's still slashing a solid .277/.316/.399 with three homers, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored and six stolen bases through 187 plate appearances. Estrada has multiple hits in three of his last five contests.

Impact Estrada was slated to take a seat for the fifth time in the last seven games Thursday, but he'll start at second base and bat sixth after Brandon Crawford (illness) was a late scratch. Although Estrada will draw the start Thursday, he's lost out on playing time to Donovan Walton recently.

Appears to lose second base job Estrada is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The righty-hitting Estrada finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starter (Sandy Alcantara) and appears to have moved into the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Donovan Walton, who starts for the seventh time in the last eight games. Estrada's decreased role comes as a surprise following a solid month of May in which he slashed .322/.358/.414 at the plate.

Riding pine Wednesday Estrada isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Resting Friday Estrada will be on the bench Friday against Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Estrada had started each of the last nine games, hitting .406/.472/.531 over that stretch. Donovan Walton will start at second base Friday.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Continuing to play every day Estrada will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tommy La Stella's return from the injured list last week looked as though it would cost Estrada an everyday role, but that has yet to come to fruition. In fact, Estrada will make his ninth consecutive start Sunday, all of which have come at second base while La Stella has served exclusively as a designated hitter or third baseman since being activated. Estrada has done his part to ensure that La Stella nor anyone else encroaches on his role, as he's slashed .414/.469/.517 over his previous eight starts.

MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches base four times Estrada went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Rockies.

Impact Estrada is fighting for continued playing time due to the return of Tommy La Stella (Achilles), and he's made a strong case by turning in multi-hit efforts in each of his last three starts. That has been aided by the hitting environment at Coors Field, though Estrada was only one of two Giants hitters to record multiple knocks Wednesday. Estrada also tallied his sixth stolen base of the campaign, and he has yet to be caught. Overall, Estrada maintains a .271/.306/.383 line with 20 RBI and 24 runs scored across 144 plate appearances.
