The Giants activated Encarnacion (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Pittsburgh, but he should see a healthy amount of playing time down the stretch as the Giants see how he fits into their long-term plans. The 27-year-old has been limited to only eight contests at the big-league level in 2025 due to a fractured hand and more recently due to an oblique strain.

Encarnacion (oblique) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, and he went 1-for-2 with a walk in a 5-2 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list June 17 due to a left oblique strain. In his first rehab game with Sacramento, the 27-year-old recorded a single in the first inning and drew a walk in the fourth. He played seven innings before being replaced. Encarnacion appears to be nearing a return to big-league action after spending time in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and now moving up to Sacramento. He has appeared in just eight games with the Giants this season, slashing .136/.136/.182 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in 22 plate appearances.

Encarnacion (oblique) will play in some rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the All-Star break before joining Triple-A Sacramento, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list June 17 due to a left oblique strain, though he's now ramping up for a return to the big leagues. The 27-year-old has appeared in only eight games in 2025, having missed over two months to start the season after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left hand in mid-March. In those eight games, he recorded a .136/.136/.182 slash line with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in 22 plate appearances.

Encarnacion (oblique) took batting practice at Oracle Park on Monday and will continue ramping up his hitting progression this week, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list June 17 due to a left oblique strain and isn't likely to return until after the All-Star break. The 27-year-old has struggled to stay healthy this season, having already missed over two months to start the season after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left hand in mid-March. Encarnacion has made only 22 plate appearances in 2025, slashing .136/.136/.182 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base during that span.

The Giants placed Encarnacion on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left oblique strain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion has gone 3-for-22 in eight games since returning from a hand fracture that kept him sidelined until early June, and he'll now spend at least another 10 days on the IL due to his oblique. Daniel Johnson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to replenish the Giants' outfield depth.

Encarnacion went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion lined a double to right field in the third inning and added a single off position player Enrique Hernandez in the ninth before coming around to score. The 27-year-old delivered his first multi-hit performance of the season after missing an extended period to start the year while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured left hand. Encarnacion has now logged three hits across seven games this season, slashing .143/.143/.190 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in 21 plate appearances.

Encarnacion started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Encarnacion drew the starting nod for the first time since returning from surgery to repair a fractured left hand that he sustained in mid-March. The 27-year-old made an appearance in Monday's loss to San Diego as well, replacing Mike Yastrzemski in right field and going 0-for-3. Encarnacion could also see playing time at first base or designated hitter if Wilmer Flores shifts to first, as LaMonte Wade was designated for assignment Wednesday.

The Giants activated Encarnacion (hand) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
