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.

The 27-year-old could see the bulk of his playing time at first base when he returns to the Giants, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Encarnacion is eligible to be activated as early as May 23.

Starting rehab assignment Saturday Encarnacion (hand) is starting his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Encarnacion started the season on the injured list after fracturing his left hand in mid-March. He has steadily increased his baseball activities over the past two months and is taking the final step in his recovery program by embarking on a rehab assignment. Barring any setbacks, Encarnacion could be activated from the IL when first eligible May 23. He'll start at first base in Saturday's outing, and that could be where he gets most of his playing time when he returns to the majors while Wilmer Flores stays in the DH spot, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Nearing rehab assignment Encarnacion (hand) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Encarnacion underwent surgery in late March to repair a fractured left hand but appears on track for activation from the 60-day injured list when first eligible May 23. The 27-year-old appeared slated to be the Giants' primary designated hitter before getting hurt, and it's possible that's still his role since Wilmer Flores has cooled off after a red-hot first couple weeks. There could also be at-bats available at first base, where LaMonte Wade has struggled.

Taking dry swings Encarnacion (hand) began dry swinging Monday and will continue to ramp up his hitting progression throughout the week, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Encarnacion still has about a month to go before he's eligible to return from the injured list, but his return to swinging a bat is still a significant step forward after fracturing his left hand in March.
