Reds activate 3B Encarnacion from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati third baseman Edwin Encarnacion was activated from the 60-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Encarnacion had been on the DL since late April due to a chip fracture in his left wrist. He's hitting just .127 (8-for-63) in 19 games this season.

Encarnacion made 11 rehabilitation appearances at Triple-A Louisville and hit .270 with a pair of homers and eight RBI. At the time he was put on the DL by the parent club, Encarnacion was hitless in his last 12 at-bats and was mired in a 1-for-28 slump.

The Reds opened a roster spot for Encarnacion by placing infielder Danny Richar on the 15-day DL with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He suffered the injury sliding head-first into home plate in the third inning of Wednesday's 1-0 win against Arizona.
