Overtaking Mayo at third base
Encarnacion-Strand will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Análisis
Encarnacion-Strand has sizzled at the plate since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on July 16, going 9-for-24 (.375 average) with three home runs, nine RBI and a 1:6 BB:K in his first six games with Baltimore. He'll be making his sixth consecutive start Sunday at third base, where he appears to have leapfrogged Coby Mayo on the depth chart.

Mashes second homer in matinee
Encarnacion-Strand went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 6-3 loss to the Red Sox during Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Análisis
Encarnacion-Strand has made an immediate impact since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, going 6-for-16 with two home runs and four RBI over four games for the Orioles thus far. With Blaze Alexander (hand) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) both on the injured list, the door is open for Encarnacion-Strand to claim a steady role either at third base or designated hitter if he continues to wield a hot bat.
