6 years agoSeattle Mariners designated hitter/first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (hand) is out of the team’s lineup once again Friday, and Dan Vogelbach is filling in at DH. He hasn’t played since Monday, as he’s been battling a sore left hand, but the injury doesn’t appear to be too severe and he should return Saturday or Sunday. It’s no surprise the team is proceeding with caution with their slugger, as hand injuries can linger throughout the season and can affect a hitter’s power. Encarnacion has had a slow start to the season with just one homer and one RBI, but he should return strong totals by season’s end.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
