His move to the injured list will create a spot on the active roster for Christian Koss, who was selected from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

  Encarnacion jammed his left ring finger while making a diving play during Friday's spring game against the Guardians and is slated to have X-rays, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Manager Bob Melvin said after the game that Encarnacion will receive X-rays on his hand/finger, which will help determine how much time the 27-year-old will miss. If he ends up having to sit out the start of the regular season, Wilmer Flores would be the leading candidate to receive more DH opportunities.

  Encarnacion went 2-for-3 with a double in Sunday's win over the Angels and is hitting .444 (8-for-18) with a home run in six spring games.

He has just three strikeouts this spring, which is encouraging since he had a 28.6 percent strikeout rate and just a 4.2 percent walk rate in the majors last season.
