Giants outfielder Jerar Encarnacion suffered a fracture in his left hand, leading to surgery and an eight-week recovery period. Initially thought to be a minor injury, it turned out to be more serious, requiring the Giants to consider moving him to the 60-day injured list. Encarnacion had been performing well this offseason and was slated for a significant role in the upcoming season, which makes this injury particularly impactful for both his career trajectory and the team's lineup.
Encarnacion's surgery revealed more serious damage than initially thought, leading to a longer recovery time of eight weeks, significantly affecting his projected role in the Giants' lineup.
Despite facing another setback, Encarnacion's strong performance in the 2024 season had put him on the radar for a bigger role with the Giants by 2025.
