June 6, 2025 2:25 PM : The Reds activated Encarnacion-Strand (back) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: Encarnacion-Strand has been on the shelf since April 17 due to lower back inflammation, but after a lengthy rehab assignment, he's been cleared to rejoin the Reds. Prior to sustaining the injury, Encarnacion-Strand slashed .158/.183/.298 with two home runs in 60 plate appearances. However, he went 12-for-37 (.324) with a pair of homers over 10 games with Triple-A Louisville during his rehab stint.
