Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Shocker: Nick Kurtz’s Return and Kyle Teel’s Debut Could Change Everything!
Thairo Estrada- 2B, COL: 6% rostered
(OFF THE IL, BATTING AVERAGE UPSIDE)
Estrada was a big late-round favorite of mine early in the season now that he’s in Colorado. I think he hurt his fantasy value by playing through injury last year, but he’s a .270 15/15 type of talent who will not be playing in Coors Field. A fractured wrist could impact some of that power, but Estrada hit a solid 7-for-23 during his rehab assignment and could be a solid source of batting average and speed while being the likely everyday starter at second base for the Rockies. Colorado has six games at home this week, so fire Estrada up. If you wanted more upside, you could take a gamble on Ronny Maurico – 2B, NYM (12% rostered), who has gone 3-for-16 with one home run and one steal in his first four games since being called up. As I mentioned above, Brett Baty has come back down to earth, and Maurico has all kinds of raw tools. It’s unclear what kind of opportunity he’ll get, especially when Mark Vientos comes back, but Mauricio could be worth a shot.
