Suffers thumb fracture La Stella (hamstring) is dealing with a small thumb fracture and is expected to pause baseball activities for approximately two weeks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact La Stella has been out since early May with a hamstring strain. He began a rehab assignment Tuesday but paused it after just one game with what was originally called a jammed thumb. The infielder was previously expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list in early July, but the thumb fracture will now almost certainly keep him off the major-league roster through the All-Star break.

Impact La Stella began the rehab stint with Sacramento on Tuesday. The club plans on having the thumb issue heal completely before he resumes playing in games, so he figures to be out of the River Cats' lineup for the next few days. The infielder is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list July 2, but it's not clear if the setback will push his activation back.

Beginning rehab assignment La Stella (hamstring) joined Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact La Stella suffered a left hamstring strain in early May and the issue wound up being severe enough to land the infielder a trip to the 60-day IL. He's not eligible to be activated until July 2, so he'll have plenty of opportunities to get reps under his belt in Sacramento during the next 10 days. Upon his activation, the 32-year-old figures to see the majority of his time at second and third base, though it's not clear how the Giants will divide infield playing time among La Stella, Donovan Solano and Wilmer Flores while Evan Longoria continues to work his way back from a sprained shoulder.
