Giants Place Infielder Estrada On IL, Promote Minor Leaguer Villar

Thairo Estrada was placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation.
An MRI showed only inflammation, but decreased range of motion led the Giants to give Estrada an extended break.
David Villar was called up from the minors to replace Estrada on the roster as the youth movement continues.
Estrada, the Giants' leading hitter with a .301 average, was an everyday presence in the middle infield.
Austin Slater has begun a rehab assignment while Joc Pederson continues to avoid baseball activities.
