Jerar Encarnación of the San Francisco Giants fractured his hand during a game, leading to a significant injury that will sideline him for approximately 6-14 weeks. This injury is particularly impactful as he was slated to be the team's primary designated hitter. Known for his impressive bat speed but accompanied by a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio, Encarnación's absence could hinder the Giants' offensive efforts in their quest for a Wild Card spot, putting more pressure on their pitching and defense to secure wins.
Encarnación's injury means the Giants lose a key bat to start the season, with a recovery time projected between 6 to 14 weeks.
The Giants will rely more heavily on pitching and defense, as they look to compete for the Wild Card spot without Encarnación's offensive contributions.
