2024 Fantasy Outlook
Estes was traded to Oakland in the Matt Olson trade before the 2022 season, and he's gone from 16th round pick back in 2019 to a player that made two starts for the A's in 2023 that has a chance to win a spot in the A's rotation to start 2024. The 22-year-old can get his fastball up to 96 mph, and he complements that heater with a slider that gets above-average grades along with a change that continues to make progress. He generally throws strikes with all three pitches, but his command is slightly behind his control. Estes is a name to monitor in the coming years in dynasty leagues, but there's very little chance of him being a viable fantasy option in 2024 even if he does earn a starting gig. Read Past Outlooks

POakland Athletics
September 11, 2024
Estes (7-7) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Estes logged his third quality start in his last five outings and avoided giving up a home run for the first time since July 26. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than four runs in any of his last 11 appearances. He's pitched to a 4.36 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 88:24 K:BB over 117.2 innings through 22 outings (21 starts) this season. Estes is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Cubs.
