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.

Clean-shaven Odor makes debut for Yankees against Rays

APRIL 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Shipped to San Francisco The Giants acquired Estrada from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact San Francisco will add Estrada to its 40-man roster, but the infielder will be optioned to the Giants' alternate site as his new organization looks to get an extended evaluation of him. Estrada had appeared in 61 games for the Yankees across the past two seasons, generating a .214/.267/.348 slash line in 121 plate appearances.

Designated for assignment Estrada was designated for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Estrada has never really seen a long look at the big-league level, so a rebuilding team may look to claim him off waivers. This clears a spot for Rougned Odor on the Yankees' 40-man roster.

Sent to Triple-A Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Impact Estrada was competing for a depth role on the major-league roster this spring but will begin the regular season in the minors. He went 3-for-18 with one RBI and three strikeouts over 10 spring games this year.

Returns to alternate site Estrada was optioned to the alternate training site after Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The 24-year-old saw regular playing time toward the end of August with DJ LeMahieu sidelined, but he's struggled with a .469 OPS in 25 games this season. Estrada may not rejoin the big-league club with the team getting healthier and with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.

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.
