Estrada had nine hits in five rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento and said he’s at 100% health for one of the only times this season.
San Francisco Giants’ Thairo Estrada hits an RBI single off Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack in the second inning of their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, July 14, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — After one of the Giants’ first games of the season, Bob Melvin sat in his office in the bowels of Petco Park and raved about the potential All-Star season their second baseman had ahead of him.
Before a sprained left wrist sidelined him for the past three weeks, Estrada was batting .216/.249/.353 — a .601 OPS — and on pace for career lows in almost every offensive category. Over the past three seasons, he had been 5% better than the league-average hitter but this year had been among the league’s worst, with an OPS+ of 71 .
The Giants’ lineup, meanwhile, has scored more than four runs just once in their past 10 games while batting around the Mendoza line as a team and even worse with runners in scoring position, and Estrada acknowledged, “it’s hard to say that with me coming in we’re just going to start scoring runs. That’s not easy to do.”
