2026 Fantasy Outlook
It is now make or break time for Encarnacion, just a season after he broke down multiple times. Encarnacion lost six weeks to a hamstring, multiple months to a left hand fracture, as well as time lost to a strained oblique. He was able to get just 161 plate appearances between Triple-A and the big league club around his injuries. He hit .274/.378/.464 while in Triple-A but that success did not follow him to the big league roster in a short 19-game sample size. The draw with Encarnacion is he makes some of the hardest contact in baseball, when he is healthy and actually makes contact. After all, this is a player who struck out 200 times in a minor league season in 2023 yet became just the second player, along with Glenallen Hill, to reach the majors despite striking out 200 times in a minor league season. Encarnacion is now out of options but is going to have to hit his way onto the San Francisco roster this spring to stick. Read Past Outlooks
