Fantasy Impact:
Encarnacion has been battling a variety of issues since Spring Training. First he was held out of Spring Training games due to a back issue, then he was forced to miss four games due to hamstring issues which he is still receiving treatment for. Now, Edwin seems to be nursing a shoulder injury which could have negative effects on his swing. It wouldn't be a surprise if he was forced to the DL in order to sort these issues out. We will keep you updated as more news comes in.
