Thairo Estrada Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a minor-league contract with free-agent infielder Thairo Estrada on Monday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Estrada will give the Orioles more insurance with both infielders Jackson Holliday (hand) and Jordan Westburg (elbow) set to open the 2026 regular season on the injured list due to injuries. Coby Mayo is expected to open the season as Baltimore's regular third baseman, with Blaze Alexander likely to operate as the starter at the keystone. The 30-year-old Estrada won't be a lock to make the Opening Day roster as infield depth. The Venezuelan hit .253/285/.370 with a .655 OPS, three home runs, 21 RBI, and 14 runs scored in only 39 games played last year with the Colorado Rockies. Even if Estrada breaks camp with the big-league club, he'll be a bench player who won't warrant fantasy attention in mixed leagues.

The Colorado Rockies transferred infielder Thairo Estrada (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Friday, which means that he won't be back with the team the rest of the season after straining his right hamstring in Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Estrada also got a late start to the year with the Rockies and ended up hitting a mediocre .253/.285/.370 with a .655 OPS, three home runs, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base in his 154 at-bats for Colorado. Former prospect Adael Amador is starting at second base in the series opener in Arizona against the Diamondbacks on Friday, but Aaron Schunk could also factor in at the keystone for the last-place Rockies going forward with Estrada on the shelf. Amador has hit .176 (24-for-136) with a homer and eight RBI in 47 games in the big leagues since making his debut in 2024.

The Colorado Rockies announced on Wednesday that they placed infielder Thairo Estrada (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring and recalled infielder Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Amador is starting at second base and hitting eighth in Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. Estrada will land on the IL for the third time this year after pulling his hamstring while running out a grounder in Tuesday's loss. The 29-year-old was using crutches after the game, suggesting that he probably won't be ready to return in 10 days. The Venezuelan hasn't been fantasy relevant in mixed leagues with a .253 average (39-for-154) with three homers and 21 RBI in 2025. Amador will be an option at the keystone along with Orlando Arcia, Kyle Farmer and Tyler Freeman.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Thairo Estrada (leg) left Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury. He landed on the first-base bag awkwardly while trying to beat out a double-play ball and exited after. He went 0-for-3 before exiting. The 29-year-old has had a run of bad injury luck this season, missing time already with a right wrist fracture and a sprained left thumb. He hasn't been able to get things clicking at the plate when he has been healthy, slashing .253/.285/.370 with three home runs, 21 RBI, and one stolen base in 165 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more information on Wednesday.

The Colorado Rockies reinstated infielder Thairo Estrada (thumb) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned infielder Adael Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Estrada will immediately start at second base for Friday's series opener against the hosting Baltimore Orioles while hitting sixth versus right-hander Dean Kremer at Camden Yards. The 29-year-old second baseman will return to action for the first time since spraining his thumb on July 7. He will return to starting duties at the keystone in Colorado, but although Estrada has hit .284 (33-for-116) on the year, he has limited fantasy upside as a light-hitting infielder on the worst team in baseball. The Venezuelan has added only two home runs, 18 RBI, 11 runs and one stolen base in 2025 after getting a late start to the year due to injury.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Thairo Estrada (thumb) took on-field batting practice at Coors Field on Wednesday before the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to The Denver Gazette's Kevin Henry. It's a big step for Estrada as he tries to return from a left-thumb sprain that landed him on the 10-day injured list last Friday. The 29-year-old is eligible to rejoin the Rockies at any time, but it remains to be seen if the team wants to see him go on a minor-league rehab assignment first. If he doesn't need a rehab assignment, it's possible that he'll be activated in time for this weekend's series against the Baltimore Orioles. Even though he's hit .284 (33-for-116) since joining the Rockies late in 2025 due to injury, Estrada doesn't provide much for fantasy managers in the way of power or speed. He has only two homers, 18 RBI and one stolen base.

Colorado Rockies infielder Thairo Estrada (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. Estrada has been dealing with a thumb issue since he jammed it back on July 7. He'll now head to the shelf, but backdated to July 11. That means, Estrada could potentially return to the lineup following this weekend's series against the Minnesota Twins. In a corresponding move, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) has been activated off the injured list and is playing on Friday. Estrada hasn't done enough with the bat to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Colorado Rockies infielder Thairo Estrada (thumb) remains out of the starting nine on Sunday when the Rockies conclude a series against the Cincinnati Reds. Estrada has been dealing with a thumb injury since July 7. This is Estrada's fifth-straight sitting out. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as the Rockies may opt to place him on the injured list after the All-Star break. Estrada also missed time earlier this season due to a fractured wrist. However, when on the field, he has been very productive. Through 29 games, Estrada has held a .284/.312/.397 slash line with seven doubles, two home runs, and one stolen base. This afternoon, the veteran infielder Kyle Farmer is slated to cover the keystone. The Rockies are worth a look in DFS facing Cincinnati right-hander Nick Martinez.

Colorado Rockies infielder Thairo Estrada (thumb) is out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting Cincinnati Reds for the third straight game while dealing with a jammed left thumb. Kyle Farmer will get the starting nod at second base and will hit in the eight-hole in the series opener against Reds rookie right-hander Chase Burns. The good news for Estrada is that X-rays on his injured thumb came back negative. However, it's unclear if the 29-year-old will be able to return to the Rockies lineup on Saturday or Sunday before next week's All-Star break. The Venezuelan infielder has hit a solid .284 (33-for-116) in 29 games in 2025, but he isn't going to provide fantasy managers with much power (two homers), and he's stolen only one base after putting up consecutive 20-steal seasons with the Giants in 2022 and 2023.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Thairo Estrada had a big game on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in a 7-6 win over the Houston Astros. Estrada hit a two-run shot in the first inning, had an RBI-groundout in the third, and capped his day with an RBI-single in the seventh. Estrada is now hitting .317 with eight runs, two homers, 18 RBI, and a stolen base in 101 at-bats. He will need to hit for a bit more power and steal more bases if he's going to be valuable in fantasy like he was in his earlier years, but he is on an upward trend right now. Estrada doesn't need to be rostered, but he is someone to keep an eye on.
