Rockies reportedly agree to one-year contract with second baseman Thairo Estrada Colorado Rockies sign Thairo Estrada to replace Gold Glove winner Brendan Rodgers at second base.
Nabs one-year deal with Colorado The Rockies agreed to a one-year contract with Estrada on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact 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.

Yastrzemski's homer in the 7th sparks Giants to 5-4 victory over Brewers

Swipes bag in win Estrada went 2-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.
Impact 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 given he topped 20 steals in each of 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 0.1 lower than last year, so it appears his drop in steals can be attributed to taking fewer chances rather than a meaningful drop in his abilities.

One hit in return Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.
Impact 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.

Reinstated from injured list The Giants activated Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Begins rehab assignment Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Impact 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. Once he's back, Estrada should see the bulk of the reps at second base for San Francisco.

Lands on IL The Giants placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Friday with a sprained left wrist.
Impact 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 during his previous stay, though it's unclear if he'll require a longer absence this time around. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to replenish San Francisco's infield depth, and he'll likely split reps at second base with Brett Wisely until Estrada returns.
