Edwin Encarnacion

Edwin Encarnacion absent from Saturday's Indians' lineup

Cleveland Indians first baseman Edwin Encarnacion is not in Saturday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Encarnacion started as the designated hitter and hit fourth on Friday, but will make way Saturday for Francisco Lindor, who is sliding in from shortstop.

After going 0-for-4 last night, our models project Encarnacion for 2 homers, 6 RBI and a .276 average over 34 remaining plate appearances this season.
