Jerar Encarnacion Injury: Cleared to resume rehab assignment

Encarnacion (hand) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento as soon as Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Encarnacion was re-evaluated Friday after experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired left hand, but he has since received clearance to return to game action in the minors. The 27-year-old previously made two appearances with Sacramento after starting his rehab assignment May 10 before being temporarily shut down. Encarnacion remains on track to return from the 60-day injured list May 26 when first eligible, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
