Rockies' Thairo Estrada Out 4-8 Weeks with Wrist Fracture

The second baseman, signed to revitalize the Rockies' lineup, suffered the injury after being hit by a pitch during Spring Training.

  • Thairo Estrada sustained a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist after being hit by a pitch from Kumar Rocker during a Spring Training game.
  • The Rockies announced that Estrada will be sidelined for 4-8 weeks, with follow-up X-rays planned in four weeks to assess recovery progress.
  • Estrada had been excelling in Spring Training, batting .400 with a triple and three stolen bases, before injuries interrupted his momentum.
  • Kyle Farmer is being considered as Estrada's temporary replacement, with the Rockies also exploring non-roster players and potential trade options to fill the infield gap.
  • Estrada, who previously missed time due to a head injury earlier in Spring Training, expressed frustration but remains optimistic about his recovery.
