Fantasy Impact
Encarnacion was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday with his hand injury, but was expected to play today. Especially considering that Encarnacion has had several days to rest at this point, his absence from the lineup is troubling. There's no reason to panic just yet, but if Encarnacion can't return by tomorrow, an IL stint could be in the making. Vogelbach has a solid power profile, and would make a decent pickup in deeper leagues if Encarnacion is forced to miss time.
