SF Giants' Encarnacion back from injured list, Matos optioned to Sacramento
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants have activated Jerar Encarnacion from the 60-day injured list, providing a much-needed boost to their struggling offense. Following his strong performance in spring training and recent hitting success, Encarnacion is poised to make his season debut, potentially filling in at first base or right field. Despite a strong pitching performance in May, the Giants' offense has faltered, scoring only 30 runs in their last 14 games. Encarnacion's presence is expected to enhance the team's batting lineup as they seek improved performance.
“It's nice to have him back,” said manager Bob Melvin. “During spring training, we were talking about how impactful he was going to be.”
“I feel comfortable anywhere they want to play me,” Encarnacion said through team interpreter Erwin Higueros. “They want to play me in first base, that's where I'll be.”
