June 24, 2025 11:27 PM : Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a double in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.
Analysis: The three RBI matched a season high for Encarnacion-Strand and were his first in nine games. He supplied plenty of pop early in his return from the injured list but entered Tuesday with a .107 average and zero extra-base hits over the previous eight contests. Across his 49 at-bats since returning from a back injury, the slugging infielder is batting a healthy .265 with three home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI. Encarnacion-Strand remains in a timeshare with Spencer Steer at first base, however, and the former could face even more competition for playing time once Noelvi Marte (oblique) is ready to rejoin the Reds.
