San Francisco Giants outfielder Jerar Encarnacion faces surgery after suffering a broken left hand while diving for a catch. The team's announcement notes that Dr. Steven Shin will handle the procedure, with recovery details to follow. Encarnacion had a promising spring training, hitting .302 with two homers and 14 RBIs, although he struggled with a .248 average and five home runs during the previous regular season. This injury marks a setback for the Dominican Republic native, who made his MLB debut with Miami in 2022. He joined the Giants as a free agent in May 2023, and his performance was expected to contribute significantly to the team's offense.
