Indians activate Encarnacion from DL

The Cleveland Indians activated slugger Edwin Encarnacion from the 10-day disabled list, the team announced prior to Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Encarnacion is returning from injuries to his left biceps and right hand.

In a corresponding move, the Indians placed outfielder Rajai Davis on the DL due to what the team termed a "non-baseball medical condition." Davis, 37, is batting .246 with 16 stolen bases in 81 games.

Encarnacion is batting .229 with 25 homers and 81 RBIs in 104 games. He is five blasts away from his seventh consecutive 30-homer campaign.

The 35-year-old departed a game against the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 10 due to biceps pain. He had been struggling with a bruised right hand over previous weeks prior to the biceps injury.
