Thairo Estrada’s inflamed wrist will need some more rest, prompting the San Francisco Giants to place their best hitter, second baseman Thairo Estrada, on the 10-day IL. According to MLB.com’s Giants beat writer Maria Guardado, the move is retroactive to yesterday, meaning he’d be eligible for reactivation to kickoff a weird 12-day stretch where the Giants will play three road series but also one home weekend series.
Estrada hurt his wrist on a swing during Wednesday’s finale in Minnesota. An MRI was negative for any significant structural damage, but he didn’t pass the range of motion tests the team had for him.
