Player Notes
May 22, 2007
The Reds called up Edwin Encarnacion on Tuesday, the AP reports. He was demoted to Triple-A earlier this month, and he batted .413 with three homers over 11 games with Louisville.

The Reds sent Edwin Encarnacion to Triple-A on Thursday after his two errors at third base set up three unearned runs on Wednesday night (the Reds lost to the Astros 3-2), according to the AP. "Last night was a tough game for us to lose and a tough game for him personally," general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "But I don't want to say last night was the reason. There were other things leading up. He'd get on a little bit of a stretch where he'd show some consistency, but it wasn't for long. It's up to him now to get down to work and prove us wrong, that he belonged here all the time. I'm confident he can." Encarnacion has struggled at the plate this year, as well, hitting just .218 with one home run in 101 games. Ryan Freel should get the majority of the at-bats at third base for the time being.

Manager Jerry Narron benched Edwin Encarnacion Wednesday after he failed to run out a pop up in the first inning, according to the AP. Encarnacion took the field in the bottom of the inning, but he was removed by Narron after the manager went back to his office after the inning and looked at a videotape that showed Encarnacion had not run to first. "I was watching the ball," Narron said. "I wasn't watching Eddie. If I'd have been watching Eddie, he would have never taken the field. He told me he did not see the ball where it was, but you've still got to run." Narron said Encarnacion would be back in the lineup for the team's next game on Friday.

Edwin Encarnacion was a late scratch yesterday due to flu symptoms, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He finished the preseason hitting .407 during his final nine games.
