Minor League roundup, 5/27: Jerar Encarnacion homers in his rehab restart
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants' minor league affiliates had limited action, with noteworthy updates from AAA Sacramento, where Marco Luciano played first base, a new position for him. The River Cats lost 9-5 to the El Paso Chihuahuas, but standout performances included Jerar Encarnación's successful rehab game and Devin Mann's impressive batting statistics. Additionally, Wade Meckler returned after a lengthy injury absence, which signals potential strengthening of the team as they prepare for future games.
This could be an indictment of his development curve in the outfield, but I think it's more likely that the Giants are intrigued by how well he's been swinging the bat.
Encarnación, who is eligible to come off the 60-Day IL, is expected to join the Giants within the next few days if everything goes well with his rehab.
