Jerar Encarnación has been activated off the 10-Day IL by the San Francisco Giants to take over for Luis Matos, who has been optioned to AAA Sacramento. Encarnación's season has been marked by injuries, including a serious preseason injury and an oblique injury after just eight games upon his return. His Major League numbers were poor this season, but he showed improvement in AAA. Matos, on the other hand, had hoped for a larger role but will be playing regularly in AAA after limited appearances.
Jerar Encarnación has been activated off the 10-Day IL to replace Luis Matos, who was optioned to AAA Sacramento as the Giants prepare to face the Pirates.
Encarnación's season has included starting strong in Spring Training, suffering a serious preseason injury, and enduring struggles in prior Major League games this year.
In his recent time with Sacramento, Encarnación improved significantly, hitting 13-44 with two home runs, signaling readiness for a mixed role in the Giants' lineup.
Luis Matos, despite hoping for an everyday role following Mike Yastrzemski's departure, will now play regularly in AAA after a disappointing season.
