Edwin Encarnacion batting fifth as designated hitter for Indians
Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion is batting fifth on Friday against the Chicago White Sox.
Encarnacion was out of the lineup the past two days when the Indians visited the Colorado Rockies and didn't have the DH available to them. He might have played the field in at least one of the games, but was dealing with some minor hip soreness and would have been limited in his movement. He's back and ready to go on Friday.
Cleveland has the second-highest implied total (5.13) on the night against White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez. The park factor (.978) at home is only middling, but Gonzalez has the third-lowest strikeout rate of starters on the evening, making this a team to look at in DFS.
