Marco Estrada News
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Marco Estrada (back) has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Estrada has been sidelined since April due to a back issue that needed surgery. He wasn't pitching well during his rehab outings, so the Athletics decided to let him go. He might land on another team, but won't have any fantasy value.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Marco Estrada (back) is still not doing baseball activity yet. However, he said Sunday that he might resume playing catch sometime next week. He had an ablation procedure on his back a month ago after a dismal start to the season. Estrada has a 6.85 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and just 11 strikeouts across 23 2/3 innings in 2019, and clearly something was wrong with Estrada during the early going. The right-handed starter and 35 years old and coming back from a back issue, so he is a risky fantasy play down the stretch.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Marco Estrada (back) said he is feeling better after an ablation procedure for his back pain. He doesn't anticipate needing much time on a rehab assignment once he's able to pitch again. The veteran right-hander hasn't done well in Oakland in his five starts before the injury, posting an ugly 6.85 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and only 11 K's in 23 2/3 frames. Better days could be ahead for Estrada this year in Oakland, but he'll have to get healthy first, and fantasy owners in mixed leagues won't be waiting for his return to the rotation.
