Encarnacion departed after his second at-bat, complaining of left shoulder soreness that he suffered while swinging the bat. The team has not immediately announced a timetable for his return nor have they placed him on the injured list, as they are waiting to see how the injury heals.

The 37-year-old veteran has gotten off to a slow start for the South Siders this season, hitting only .200 with one home run.

Madrigal, on the other hand, got a bit more of a sombering diagnosis after he left the game after banging his shoulder on a slide. The team announced on Wednesday that Madrigal had suffered a separated left shoulder and that he will head to the injured list while he recovers.

The second baseman, one of the top prospects in baseball, had gotten called up to the Major Leagues on July 31st and was batting .291 until the injury forced him to leave Tuesday’s game.

Madrigal is expected to miss around a month of action, according to the White Sox.

The addition of Encarnacion won’t be as pricey, but it won’t come as cheap either. ESPN’s MLB insider Jeff Passan reports that the 36-year-old slugger will get a one-year, $12 million deal. White Sox will also have a $12 million option for 2021.

Encarnacion split 2019 between Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. He played 109 games combined, batting .244 with 34 home runs and 86 RBIs. His stint with Yankees was marked by strained left oblique issues.

Edwin Encarnacion spent the majority of his career with Cincinnati Reds and Toronto Blue Jays, while also spending time with Cleveland Indians alongside stints with Marlins and Yankees. He has three All-Star appearances, all with Blue Jays, and was AL RBI leader in 2016.

Encarnacion’s MLS career stats include .263 batting average, 414 homers, and 1,242 RBIs.
