Jeremiah Estrada Begins Rehab Assignment
San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jeremiah Estrada (elbow) started a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore last Friday by throwing a scoreless inning with a strikeout for the Storm, according to MLB.com. Estrada landed on the 15-day injured list on April 10 after feeling "tightness" in his right elbow while playing catch. He was diagnosed with right-elbow tendinitis, but the fact that he's already pitching in games again means he could come off the IL soon to rejoin the Friars' bullpen. The 27-year-old's velocity was down considerably before he landed on the IL, and he didn't look like his previous dominant self on the mound. Estrada allowed six runs (four earned) on five hits while walking five and striking out eight in his seven relief innings for SD before landing on the shelf. He can be a nice arm to roster in leagues that count holds, but Mason Miller has the ninth locked down in San Diego. Estrada is currently rostered in just 11% of fantasy baseball leagues.
