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.

If the Yankees end up exercising the option, Encarnacion would be scheduled to earn $20 million in 2020. Now, however, he becomes a free agent and has an opportunity to seek a deal somewhere else.

The Yankees confirmed the decision on their official social media.

This was an expected move by the Yankees, as they acquired Encarnacion in June as a cover for the series of injuries they faced in 2019. The 36-year-old ended up playing 44 games in the regular season, having a batting average of .249 with 13 home runs and 37 RBIs.

The Yankees already have the 4th-highest home run total of any team in the American League with 110, and with their addition of the veteran Dominican designated hitter, they have officially established their lineup as a deep stable of power threats that will be sure to terrify pitching staffs come playoff time.
