Jerar Encarnacion was on track to make his first Opening Day roster after a long journey through six seasons in the minors and a stint in the Mexican League. However, a recent injury—a hairline fracture in his left ring finger—means he will miss at least four to five weeks. Despite this setback, Encarnacion remains optimistic, believes in a larger plan, and is eager for future opportunities to play. His impressive performance in the Dominican Winter League further showcases his readiness for the major leagues.
"I don't feel disappointed at all. I think it's God's plan that this happened. So, the only thing I can do is just continue."
"Based on what we saw last year, based on what we saw this spring, there's a lot to like: the power dynamic, he can play the infield a little bit at first, play the outfield, DH."
