Encarnacion, who has been out since April 28 with a chip fracture
Encarnacion, who has been out since April 28 with a chip fracture in his left wrist, said he hopes to graduate to regular batting practice sometime this weekend in Milwaukee. He played catch on Tuesday with Brandon Phillips and reported no issues. Until afternoon showers forced the tarp to come out at Great American Ball Park, Encarnacion was to take ground balls on the field for the first time since the injury. 'I never expected it would be this long,' Encarnacion said of his DL stint. 'This is my second time in a month I've had my glove on. The first time was [Tuesday]. That's never happened before.' Encarnacion was hitting .127 with one homer and six RBIs before the injury.
