Estrada didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he must have demonstrated enough progress in his recent workouts for the Giants to feel confident that he'll be ready to go for the upcoming series in Colorado. Once activated, Estrada will likely displace Brett Wisely as the Giants' primary option at the keystone.
