SS Thairo Estrada was supposed to join Triple-A Scranton yesterday to replace Gleyber Torres, but he is staying back in Tampa a little longer while he nurses with a groin issue, RailRiders manager Bobby Mitchell told DJ Eberle. It’s nothing serious and Estrada is expected to join Scranton later this week.
