Encarnacion (back) is in the lineup for the second straight day Wednesday despite his minor injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Recommendation: Don't be surprised if he's limited to DH duties for a few more days, as the Jays are once again using Yan Gomes at first base Wednesday.

DH Edwin Encarnacion is playing with some lower back discomfort and was 1-for-3 as DH in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to Tampa Bay. "It started with a swing in Anaheim," manager John Farrell said. "He's been getting treatment regularly but I think with the additional play at first base, we've got to monitor the overall work volume. Most importantly, he felt okay when he swung the bat early [Tuesday afternoon]."

Encarnacion went deep and had three hits and three RBIs as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 8-1 on Wednesday night.
Advice: Encarnacion has four homers in eight games.
