Encarnacion is not in the lineup for Game 5 of the ALCS against the Astros on Friday.
Encarnacion returned from an oblique injury for the start of the playoffs but hasn't been good, hitting just .179/.281/.286 in seven games. Giancarlo Stanton will return from a quadriceps injury to start as the designated hitter in his absence.
