Thairo Estrada's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. The 28-year-old posted a .590 OPS in 381 PA this season, especially struggling over the last couple weeks by posting just a .486 OPS in 35 PA. Estrada had been dealing with a wrist injury he sustained in late July and hasn't quite regained his form from the first half of the season. With Estrada being demoted, Casey Schmitt is in place to get most of the starts at second base. His 82 wRC+ isn't quite that appealing, but it does outpace the production Estrada was giving San Francisco. The Giants also recalled Brett Wisely in a corresponding move with Estrada's demotion. Wisely's 82 wRC+ at the major league level gives the Giants similar production at second base. Only fantasy managers in deeper leagues should even be considering adding Schmitt or Wisely to their lineups. Other fantasy managers needing help at second base can likely find better options on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Estrada appears ready to play again after being sidelined since late July due to a sprained wrist. He'll cover second base and bat eighth against right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Monday. Despite his struggles it doesn't look like Estrada has lost his starting spot on the team. He's slashing .216/.249/.343 with nine home runs and 43 RBI in 87 games this season. At this point, Estrada probably isn't worth rostering in most fantasy formats outside of deep leagues.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada (wrist) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. Recovering from a sprained left wrist, Estrada is ready to get in some game action and should be back with the Giants either sometime later this week or early next week. The 28-year-old infielder has been a major disappointment in his fourth year with the Giants this season, slashing a pitiful .216/.249/.353 with nine home runs, 14 doubles, and 43 RBI over 329 at-bats. Although he makes for a weak stash overall in fantasy leagues, Estrada should return to an everyday role at the keystone for San Francisco when he's activated from the injured list.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada (wrist) was scheduled to begin his hitting progression before Monday's series opener against the hosting Washington Nationals. Estrada missed nine games with the same sprained left wrist earlier this year, but he struggled to overcome the injury after returning from his first stint on the 10-day injured list on July 9. He went just 3-for-34 (.088) with seven strikeouts in his last 10 contests, causing the Giants to send him back to the IL on July 26. The 28-year-old Venezuelan infielder should be back with San Francisco at some point in August. For the time being, the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely finds himself on the strong side of a platoon for at-bats with Casey Schmitt at the keystone in the Bay Area.

The San Francisco Giants placed infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left-wrist sprain and recalled infielder Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. With Estrada on the shelf, Schmitt will start at the keystone and bat eighth on Friday against the visiting Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland. This will be the second time this year that Estrada has landed on the IL with a left-wrist sprain. The 28-year-old infielder has really only been valuable for middle-infield depth in deep-mixed leagues, at best, in 2024. Estrada is currently hitting just .216/.249/.353 with a weak .601 OPS, nine homers and 43 RBI in 87 games played in his fourth year in San Fran. Expect Schmitt to split time at second with Brett Wisely with Estrada on the shelf.
