  Encarnacion went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 13-7 loss to the Dodgers. Encarnacion returned to action Saturday after he missed more than a month due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

  The Giants reinstated Encarnacion (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday. A Grade 2 strain in Encarnacion's right hamstring has kept him on the shelf since early August. After playing in five rehab games and going 2-for-17 with two RBI, a run scored and a steal, the 27-year-old outfielder will return to San Francisco and replace Dominic Smith (hamstring) on the 28-man roster. Encarnacion will start in right field and bat seventh Saturday but isn't expected to receive regular starts down the stretch.

• Giants' Jerar Encarnacion: Begins rehab assignment

  09/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Encarnacion (hamstring) began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, going 0-for-4 as the designated hitter in a 2-1 extra-inning loss to Las Vegas. Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 8 (retroactive to Aug. 7) due to a strained right hamstring, though he is seemingly nearing a return to the big leagues. The 27-year-old has appeared in two rehab games with Sacramento this month, batting 0-for-7 over that span. He has dealt with multiple injuries this season -- including a strained left oblique and a fractured left hand -- appearing in just 10 big-league outings. During that span, Encarnacion has recorded a .167/.167/.400 slash line with two home runs, a double and a stolen base across 30 plate appearances. He's expected to return to the majors before the end of the regular season.
