THAIRO ESTRADA NEWS

Recalled, starting Wednesday Estrada was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday and is starting at second base versus Milwaukee.

Impact Estrada spent a few days in the majors before being sent back to Triple-A on Sunday, and he'll quickly rejoin the Giants with rosters expanding to 28 players. The 25-year-old has a .291/.358/.419 slash line in 36 games this season and should fill an infield utility role for San Francisco.

Heading back to Triple-A Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Joins big-league club Estrada was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Estrada has been at Triple-A since being demoted Aug. 14, but he'll rejoin the Giants on Thursday with Donovan Solano (undisclosed) heading to the injured list. The 25-year-old has an .809 OPS in 89 plate appearances this season and should fill a utility role while in the majors.

Sent to Sacramento Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact Estrada has looked good in limited action this season, slashing .300/.371/.438 across 89 plate appearances at the big-league level. The Giants' roster is a crowded one, however, so he'll make way for Evan Longoria (shoulder), who returns from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Impact With the Giants leaning heavily on their bullpen in recent games, Estrada was optioned to bring up reliever John Brebbia in a corresponding move. The versatile Estrada has a .303/.376/.447 slash line through 85 plate appearances, so he could be back with the big club eventually.

Sits in second straight Estrada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Estrada worked as the Giants' primary shortstop for most of the second half of July, but he lost hold of that job after Brandon Crawford returned from the injured list Thursday. Thanks to his defensive versatility, Estrada picked up starts in left field Friday and Saturday, but he'll be relegated to a bench role for the second game in a row to close out the series. The return of Crawford along with the trade-deadline acquisition of Kris Bryant will likely force Estrada to settle for utility duties moving forward, even though he slashed an impressive .348/.419/.515 with three home runs and a stolen base in July.

Homers, steals base in win Estrada went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Estrada singled and stole his first base of the year in the sixth. He would eventually be brought home off the bat of Curt Casali and later started off the eighth with the Giants' third homer of the day to make it a 6-1 ballgame. The 25-year-old has stepped up in a big way in the absence of Brandon Crawford (oblique), as he's slashing .360/.407/.640 with two homers, five RBI, five runs scored, a steal and 2:8 BB:K over his last seven games. It's doubtful he's able to sustain his success over time but fantasy managers, especially in NL-only leagues, should ride him while he's hot.

Goes deep Tuesday Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Estrada extended San Francisco's early lead in the fifth inning with a 406-foot blast to center field. The homer extended a strong July for the utilityman. Over 13 games this month, Estrada is slashing .361/.439/.583 with a pair of home runs, 11 RBI and a 5:7 BB:K.

Drives in two Monday Estrada went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Estrada was right in the middle of things during a four-run seventh inning in which he sent a two-run double down the third-base line to extend the Giants' lead to 6-2. The 25-year-old has come out of nowhere to become a key contributor since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on June 29. Since then, he's slashed .353/.421/.500 with a homer, 10 RBI, five runs scored and a 4:6 BB:K over 13 games. He figures to play an everyday role moving forward after the team placed Brandon Crawford on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

Racks up four hits Estrada went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored Saturday against Washington.

Impact Estrada continued to produce offensively for the Giants, putting together the first four-hit game of his major-league career while driving in a trio of runs. The 25-year-old owns a .360/.429/.520 slashing line in his 28 plate appearances this season, a huge boost to a San Francisco squad that currently has multiple infielders on the injured list.

Five-RBI day paces Giants Estrada went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a double and five RBI in Friday's 11-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Estrada had the best game of his young career Friday night. He notched his first-ever three-hit game and had at least three RBI for the first time since May 19, 2019. The 25-year-old doubled home a run in the fifth and then sealed the game with a grand slam in the ninth to put his team up 11-4. He hadn't recorded a hit in two at-bats this season coming into the game and should continue to hold a depth role around the infield despite breaking out with a stellar performance.

Longoria out at least 6 weeks with left shoulder sprain

The San Francisco Giants placed Evan Longoria on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder sprain before Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs

JUNE 6, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Receives call-up Sunday The Giants recalled Estrada from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact With Evan Longoria landing on the injured list Sunday with a shoulder sprain, Estrada is set for his first major-league action of 2021. The infielder, who's played a combined 61 games for the Yankees across 2019 and 2020, was hitting an impressive .381/.435/.629 with six homers at Sacramento prior to his promotion. He's not in the starting lineup Sunday, but he figures to be an option off the bench for manager Gabe Kapler.
