Thairo Estrada, the Rockies’ new starting second baseman, has a broken right wrist and will be out four to eight weeks, manager Bud Black told reporters Friday at the Rockies’ spring training complex.
Estrada was hit in the wrist by a pitch in Thursday night’s game between the Rockies and Rangers.
The 29-year-old was signed to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was non-tendered by Colorado after the 2024 season. Estrada signed a one-year, $3.25 million deal.
It’s another unfortunate injury for Estrada, who spent time on the injured list last season as a member of the Giants because of a left wrist injury. He slashed .217/.247/.343. He was outrighted off the roster at the end of August.
