"Encarnación's injury means the Giants lose a key bat to start the season, with a recovery time projected between 6 to 14 weeks."
"The Giants will rely more heavily on pitching and defense, as they look to compete for the Wild Card spot without Encarnación's offensive contributions."
Jerar Encarnación of the San Francisco Giants fractured his hand during a game, leading to a significant injury that will sideline him for approximately 6-14 weeks. This injury is particularly impactful as he was slated to be the team's primary designated hitter. Known for his impressive bat speed but accompanied by a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio, Encarnación's absence could hinder the Giants' offensive efforts in their quest for a Wild Card spot, putting more pressure on their pitching and defense to secure wins.
