Estevez was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez was sent down after an up-and-down start to the season, making room on the 25-man roster for Mike Dunn, who was recently activated from the disabled list. The 24-year-old struggled to a 7.94 ERA through 13 games (11.1 innings), though he only allowed earned runs in three of those games. He'll head back to Albuquerque for some more seasoning, but he should get another look sometime in 2017.
