Yankees activate Encarnación after IL stint for broken wrist

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees activated slugger Edwin Encarnación from the injured list before Tuesday night’s game against the Texas Rangers.
Encarnación missed 30 games with a fractured right wrist and appeared in two rehab games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before returning. He was injured when he was hit by pitch from Boston reliever Josh Smith on Aug. 3.
“I think he knows how I feel about him and the dimension he brings to our lineup,” mana
