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

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  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: Placed on waivers

  08/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Giants placed Estrada on waivers Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Estrada has taken a considerable step back at the plate this season, slashing .216/.246/.345 with nine home runs and 46 RBI through 374 plate appearances. Due to his poor performance, the Giants have now made him available for any other team willing to pay the remainder of the $4.7 million contract he signed with San Francisco during the offseason. He is still eligible to play while on waivers.

• Giants' Thairo Estrada: Swipes bag in win

  08/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Estrada went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners. Estrada has gone 6-for-20 (.300) over five games since he returned from a wrist injury. The theft was just his second of the year, an unusually low mark after he topped 20 steals the previous two years. Part of the issue has been a lack of opportunity -- Estrada is slashing just .221/.251/.352 over 92 contests this season. He's added nine home runs, 46 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples. Per Statcast, his sprint speed is at 28.0 feet per second, which is just slightly below last year.

• Giants' Thairo Estrada: One hit in return

  08/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.
