Technically, Estrada is arbitration-eligible so he’ll remain on Colorado’s 40-man roster instead of becoming a free agent. The club will have to decide whether to tender him a contract in a couple weeks. The 29-year-old infielder was limited to just 39 games this past season in his Rockies debut due to injury and its entirely possible he’ll be non-tendered and wind up back in free agency this offseason.

Estrada landed on the injured list on Wednesday with a right hamstring strain and now it’s clear that he’ll miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The 29-year-old infielder wound up slashing a disappointing .253/.285/.370 with just three homers, 21 RBI and one stolen base in 165 plate appearances on the year. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues.

There’s no injury timeline yet for Estrada’s third IL stint this season. He’s played in just 39 games and batted .253/.285/.370 after being signed for $4 million last winter because Brendan Rodgers was too injury-prone to keep around. Adael Amador will take over at second base for now.

No additional details at this time. Estrada was lifted from Tuesday’s contest after he stepped awkwardly on the first-base bag trying to beat out a double play in the sixth inning. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Wednesday afternoon’s game.

On the day that the Rockies get their starting shortstop back from the injured list, the other half of their double play combination lands on the injured list with a left thumb sprain. That will spare Ryan Ritter from a demotion to Triple-A Albuquerque for at least a few days. The Rockies are hopeful that Estrada won’t require much longer than a minimum stint on the injured list.

Estrada missed the final five games before the break with a thumb injury. That’ll clear a spot for the returning Ezequiel Tovar. Ryan Ritter, who might have been demoted to make room for Tovar, could start playing some second base,

Estrada will sit out his fifth straight game to close out the first half as he continues to deal with a lingering left thumb issue. The 29-year-old infielder should benefit from the extended All-Star break, which gives him a chance to recover in time for the outset of the second half. It’ll be Kyle Farmer at second base on Sunday in his ongoing absence.

There haven’t been any rumblings about a return trip to the injured list for the 29-year-old infielder, and if it hasn’t happened by now it probably isn’t going to before the All-Star break. Kyle Farmer will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Rockies against Reds’ rookie right-hander Chase Burns on Friday evening in Cincinnati.

Estrada hardly crushed the homer — at 96 mph off the bat, it wasn’t even considered a barrel — but it tied the game at 2-2 in the first. Estrada later knocked in runs with a groundout in the third and a single in the seventh, giving him the fifth four-RBI game of his career. He’s hitting a nice .317/.339/.436 through 25 games, though his exit-velocity numbers don’t really back it up. The bigger concern from a fantasy standpoint is that he was caught stealing (after being picked off) today for the third time in four attempts this season; he needs the steals to be worth using in mixed leagues, but he just hasn’t been able to contribute there since 2023.

It’s getting to the point where the Rockies should strongly consider putting Estrada on the injured list as he continues to recover from a right hand contusion that he suffered earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. It’ll be veteran Kyle Farmer taking over at second base on Sunday afternoon as his absence continues.

It’s the third consecutive game that Estrada has missed since exiting Tuesday’s game with a right wrist contusion. It still sounds like they’re taking things day-to-day, but if he doesn’t start to show significant improvement soon, a backdated stint on the injured list could be in order. Orlando Arcia will once again take his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Rockies against Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks on Friday night.

Estrada has now missed two straight games since being removed from the game on Tuesday. While the Rockies are referring to him as “day-to-day,” they also admit that he was unable to grip a bat on Tuesday, so there will remain some mild concern until we see Estrada back on the field. Orlando Arcia will start at second base and bat eighth on Thursday.

Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters afterwards that he was forced to take Estrada out of the one-sided contest in the seventh inning because he couldn’t hold a bat after being hit by a pitch. He missed time earlier this year with a right wrist fracture. The 29-year-old will undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the exact nature and severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday’s contest.

The Rockies were down 7-3 when Estrada hit a two-run double in the seventh. He also doubled to help fuel the three-run rally in the ninth before Orlando Arcia won the game with a single. Estrada is batting .261 with five doubles and seven RBI in 11 games since coming off the IL and making his Rockies debut. However, he’s without a homer or a walk, so that .261 average amounts to a .641 OPS. More importantly for fantasy leaguers, he’s 0-for-1 stealing bases, and he’s going to need to be a real factor in that category if he’s going to amass mixed-league value.

Estrada made his long-awaited season debut after missing the first two months of the season recovering from a broken right wrist that he suffered back in spring training. The 29-year-old second baseman seemed like a logical bounce-back candidate for fantasy purposes after signing with the Rockies since he should benefit in the batting average department from Coors Field’s BABIP-boosting tendencies. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot, especially in deeper mixed leagues, especially if he’s going to start stealing bases again.
