Giving way to Mayo on Monday
Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Analyse
Coby Mayo will receive the nod at third base Monday, but Encarnacion-Strand may have at least temporarily leapfrogged him on the depth chart at third base following a hot start at the plate to begin his tenure with the Orioles. Since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on July 16, Encarnacion-Strand is hitting .370 with three home runs and nine RBI across 30 plate appearances. Though Encarnacion-Strand could be a strong source of power while he's playing regularly, fantasy managers should anticipate a sharp downturn in his batting average, after he had struck out at a 30.4 percent clip over a larger sample of 260 plate appearances at Norfolk prior to his promotion.

Overtaking Mayo at third base
Encarnacion-Strand will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analyse
Encarnacion-Strand has sizzled at the plate since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on July 16, going 9-for-24 (.375) with three home runs, nine RBI and a 1:6 BB:K. 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.
Analyse
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.
