Orlando Arcia

Player News

Estrada has now missed two straight games since being removed from the game on Tuesday. While the Rockies are referring to him as "day-to-day," they also admit that he was unable to grip a bat on Tuesday, so there will remain some mild concern until we see Estrada back on the field. Orlando Arcia will start at second base and bat eighth on Thursday.

Arcia has now started in three of the last four games, with two of those starts coming at first base. The Rockies seem interested in getting his bat in the lineup and may be souring on Keston Hiura, who has gone 3-for-16 with six strikeouts and no walks in seven starts with the Rockies.

Both runs came in the seventh after an Orlando Arcia error got things started. Freeland gave up his third and fourth hits of the afternoon afterwards and was lifted. Fortunately, the Rockies pen was able to limit the damage from there. It's the team's second win in Freeman's 13 outings this season. His ERA sits at 5.19, but he has a solid enough 52/13 K/BB in 67 2/3 innings. Freeland's next start will come at home versus the Giants.

Tovar "felt something in his body" on Monday night and was removed from the game. He has not played since, and the Rockies are "evaluating his left oblique." None of that sounds entirely promising, but we'll wait for the Rockies to give more details before we assume he's headed to the IL. Orlando Arcia will start at shortstop in his place on Wednesday.

Tovar will get some extra time off the rest after making an early exit from Monday's series opener with discomfort in his left side around his ribs. It'll be Orlando Arcia taking over at shortstop in his absence. He'll presumably undergo further evaluation and testing to determine whether he's dealing with an oblique strain. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
