The Rockies transferred Estrada (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Estrada strained his right hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was placed on the 10-day injured list one day later, and his move to the 60-day IL means Estrada will not play for the rest of the season. He will end the year with a .253/.285/.370 slash line with one steal, nine doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI across 165 plate appearances. Adael Amador and Aaron Schunk figure to see more starts at the keystone with Estrada sidelined.

Rotowire
The Rockies placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain.
Estrada will head to the IL for the third time this season, after he was previously shut down due to a fractured right wrist and a sprained right thumb. The infielder suffered his latest injury while running out a grounder in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays and was spotted using crutches to move about the clubhouse after the game, per MLB.com. Colorado recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll replace Estrada in the starting nine at second base in Wednesday's series finale with Toronto, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Takes swings Wednesday
Rotowire
Estrada (thumb) was spotted taking batting practice prior to the Rockies' game Wednesday against the Cardinals, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Estrada was placed on the 10-day injured list last Friday due to a right thumb sprain, but because his IL stint was retroactive to a week before that date, he'll be eligible for activation at any time. His ability to take BP on Wednesday suggests a return isn't far away, but Estrada may not be cleared to play during this weekend's series in Baltimore if the Rockies decide he needs to head out on a brief rehab assignment beforehand.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Hits IL
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Estrada (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 11.
Estrada jammed his thumb July 7 against Boston and has been diagnosed with a left thumb sprain. The IL move is backdated to before the All-Star break, so he'll become eligible to return during a three-game set against St. Louis next week. Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
Estrada (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Estrada suffered the thumb injury in Monday's loss to the Red Sox and will head into the All-Star break having sat out five straight games. The 29-year-old seemed to have avoided a serious injury when he had X-rays come back negative, so he should be good to go for the start of the second half Friday versus Minnesota.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Suffers hand bruise
Rotowire
Estrada went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals, but he was removed from the game with a right hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The second baseman took Michael Soroka deep in the second inning, Estrada's first homer of the season and the first of seven for the Rockies to tie a franchise record. Colorado held a 7-1 lead when he was replaced by pinch runner Orlando Arcia, and X-rays taken after the game came back negative, but the team is likely to be cautious with Estrada given that he missed the first two months of the season with a fractured right wrist.
