Edwin Encarnacion Batting Fifth In Thursday's Game
4 years agoChicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion is back in the lineup and hitting fifth in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Encarnacion sat out the team's previous two games as Yasmani Grandal and Jose Abreu filled the designated hitter slot. Encarnacion has struggled at the plate this year, slashing just .168/.265/.403. However, he's still a home run threat every time he steps to the plate. He has two home runs over 33 at-bats in September, but also has 10 strikeouts over that stretch.
