Thairo Estrada, the Rockies' new infielder, suffered a broken right wrist after being hit by a pitch and will be out for four to eight weeks. Estrada was expected to take on the role of starting second baseman, especially after the team non-tendered Brendan Rodgers. Despite struggling last year with injuries and a poor batting average, Estrada showed promise during the Spring Training. His previous seasons with the Giants were strong, and this injury disrupts what appeared to be a recovery trajectory for the upcoming season.
Rockies infielder Thairo Estrada suffers a broken right wrist after being hit by a pitch; expected to miss four to eight weeks, disrupting 2025 plans.
Estrada was set to fill the regular second baseman role for the Rockies, following a challenging season after being non-tendered by the Giants.
Despite a down year in 2024, Estrada had previously demonstrated his abilities with a .266/.320/.416 slash line over the 2021-2023 seasons.
The injury is significant as wrist issues can hinder a player's performance, and Estrada faces uncertainty returning from previous wrist problems.
