Returns to reserve role Estrada is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets.

Impact Back on the bench for the second straight game, Estrada doesn't look like he'll be in line for regular starts any longer after DJ LeMahieu (thumb) was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. Prior to the back-to-back benchings, Estrada had started seven of the previous eight contests, going 3-for-21 with a solo home run.

Will fill in for LeMahieu Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Estrada will serve as the team's primary second baseman while DJ LeMahieu (thumb) is on the 10-day injured list, Erik Boland of Newsday...

Impact The Yankees are breaking in two new starters in the middle infield, as Boone noted that Tyler Wade will step in as the main option at shortstop while Gleyber Torres (hamstring) is sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks. While the prospect of a full-time role increases Estrada's fantasy appeal, his lack of power and so-so hit tool render him a fairly low-upside option, making him best suited for AL-only or deeper mixed leagues.

Sits out Thursday Estrada is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Impact Estrada was in the starting nine for each of the past three games, but he'll give way to Tyler Wade at second base in the series finale. Considering the Yankees faced left-handed pitching twice in the previous three games, the righty-hitting Estrada could be stuck in the short side of a platoon at the keystone behind the lefty-hitting Wade.

Slugs solo homer Estrada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over Boston.

Impact Estrada started at third base for the first time in his career and batted seventh in the lineup. He contributed one of four Yankees homers in the contest, going deep in the fourth inning. Estrada could see a fair amount of playing time with DJ LeMahieu (thumb) on the shelf. In seven at-bats this season, Estrada has three hits and two RBI.

Sent back to alternate site The Yankees optioned Estrada to their alternate training site Monday.

Impact Estrada has now been optioned to the Yankees' alternate site for the third time in five days. The 24-year-old utility man likely won't be in line for a long-term stay on the active roster in 2020 unless the Yankees are without one of DJ LeMahieu, Gio Urshela, Gleyber Torres or Tyler Wade for an extended period.

Sent to alternate site The Yankees optioned Estrada to their alternate training site Thursday.

Impact With all MLB teams having to reduce their active rosters from 30 to 28 men ahead of Thursday's games, Estrada, Miguel Andujar and Nick Nelson were the odd men out for the Yankees. Though he's been with the Yankees since Opening Day, Estrada appeared in just two of the team's 11 games, logging base hits in both of his at-bats.
