Thairo Estrada Outrighted To Triple-A Sacramento
3 months agoSan Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. The 28-year-old posted a .590 OPS in 381 PA this season, especially struggling over the last couple weeks by posting just a .486 OPS in 35 PA. Estrada had been dealing with a wrist injury he sustained in late July and hasn't quite regained his form from the first half of the season. With Estrada being demoted, Casey Schmitt is in place to get most of the starts at second base. His 82 wRC+ isn't quite that appealing, but it does outpace the production Estrada was giving San Francisco. The Giants also recalled Brett Wisely in a corresponding move with Estrada's demotion. Wisely's 82 wRC+ at the major league level gives the Giants similar production at second base. Only fantasy managers in deeper leagues should even be considering adding Schmitt or Wisely to their lineups. Other fantasy managers needing help at second base can likely find better options on the waiver wire.
