URGENT UPDATE: The Colorado Rockies have just placed infielder Thairo Estrada on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, a significant blow to the team’s infield depth as they close out a three-game series against Toronto today.
This injury adds to Estrada’s challenging season, where he has also dealt with a fractured right wrist and a sprained thumb. In his first year with the Rockies, he has managed to bat .253 over 39 games. The Rockies’ decision comes as they seek to maintain competitiveness during a critical stretch of the season.
In response to this setback, Colorado has recalled infielder Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque. Amador, who is just 22 years old, has struggled in his brief stint with the Rockies, hitting only .184. However, he showcased promise at Albuquerque, finishing the season with a .270 average and seven home runs.
Fans of the Rockies are left wondering how Estrada’s absence will impact the team’s performance moving forward. The situation is developing, and updates will follow as the Rockies navigate this tough period.
Stay tuned for more information on the impact of this injury and Amador’s performance as the Rockies aim to turn their season around.
