Marco Estrada took one for the team on Saturday, battling through five innings and allowing three runs on five hits. He struck out seven, but was pitching through some obvious discomfort from an ongoing back issue.
Fantasy Impact
Estrada didn't factor in the win, and probably shouldn't again until after the All-Star break. Estrada, though the results have been there, is pitching through extreme back pain and should require a DL stint. Drew Hutchison was not sent down to Triple-A Buffalo after the game, possibly a sign of things to come.
