• I wasn’t expecting to have to slide Jackson Holliday down this month, but it’s been ugly of late. The 21-year-old has a 35% strikeout rate and a 5% walk rate through 35 games. In Triple-A, he was at 22% in both categories. If he doesn’t show something at Coors Field this weekend, it will be time to consider dropping him.

• It was tempting to find room for Kristian Campbell in the rankings, but I’m guessing the Red Sox won’t promote him, even though he’s stayed remarkably hot since the move to Triple-A. He had a .976 OPS in 40 games in high-A to open the season, followed by a 1.045 OPS in 56 games in Double-A. He’s currently at 1.104 six games into his stint with Worcester. I suspect that if he were under consideration for a move to the majors, he’d be focusing on second base in Triple-A. Instead, his six games have seen him play shortstop four times and center field twice.

• The news of Thairo Estrada getting placed on waivers by the Giants came as a surprise, and even though he’s had a miserable offensive season, it’s easy to imagine him getting picked up, since he’s a strong defensive second baseman and he’s not owed anything besides the $800,000 he’s due over the rest of this year. Marco Luciano could get a shot at second base if Estrada departs, but that’s not overly exciting at this point. The Giants might turn to the steadier Brett Wisely anyway.
