Jerar Encarnacion - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated, but not in lineup Monday The Giants activated Encarnacion (hand) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Encarnacion missed the first two months of the season after needing surgery to repair a fractured left hand in mid-March. The 27-year-old is not in the Giants' lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, but Encarnacion could displace the struggling LaMonte Wade sooner rather than later, either as the first baseman or as the designated hitter with Wilmer Flores moving to first base.

Homers in rehab game Encarnacion played six innings and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a walk in Triple-A Sacramento's 9-5 loss to El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact During his return to Sacramento, Encarnacion cracked a solo shot to right-center field in his first at-bat. The 27-year-old began his rehab assignment with the Giants' affiliate May 10 after fracturing his left hand in mid-march and landing on the 60-day injured list. However, he was shut down due to soreness after only two games before returning to action Tuesday. Encarnacion is likely to rejoin San Francisco in early June and could provide a boost at first base upon his return. Giants manager Bob Melvin noted, "He says he feels a lot better. These things can be pretty significant. It's not uncommon to get a little bit of a setback," according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com.

Kicks off Triple-A rehab Encarnacion (hand) is starting a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Encarnacion dealt with a setback the first time he had a rehab assignment at Triple-A earlier this month. Given that LaMonte Wade seems to be falling out of favor -- he sat against a righty Tuesday -- there could be playing time available for Encarnacion once he's knocked the rust off.

Likely to return in early June Encarnacion (hand) isn't likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list until the Giants' next homestand, which runs from June 2-8, per MLB.com.

Impact Encarnacion has been on the injured list since fracturing his left hand in mid-March and undergoing surgery. The 27-year-old began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on May 10 but was shut down after playing just two games due to hand soreness. After being re-evaluated, Encarnacion traveled to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 21 for additional at-bats and is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Sacramento shortly.

Headed to Arizona for rehab Giants manager Bob Melvin said that Encarnacion (hand) is scheduled to report to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League later this week to resume his rehab assignment, Alex Pavlov...

Impact After opening the season on the injured list while recovering from left hand surgery, Encarnacion was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on May 10, but he played in just two games before being shut down when he experienced renewed soreness. Encarnacion seems to have responded well to getting a little more than a week off to rest, so he'll head to Arizona to get some at-bats in before eventually moving his assignment back to Sacramento. Melvin said that Encarnacion isn't on track to return from the 60-day IL when first eligible May 26, but he could be activated in advance of the Giants' series in Miami next weekend. Encarnacion is likely to fill a short-side platoon role in the corner outfield or at designated hitter once he's back with the Giants.
