Giants Activate Jerar Encarnacion from Injured List for Padres Series

The San Francisco Giants activated Jerar Encarnacion from the 60-day injured list, adding him to the roster and optioning Luis Matos to Triple-A. Encarnacion, who was sidelined with a broken hand, could provide additional depth at first base and as a designated hitter, especially against left-handed pitchers. The team is currently evaluating playing time between Wade and Encarnacion, with performance being the key factor. The roster move is part of ongoing adjustments as the Giants approach the trade deadline.
