Edwin Encarnacion will start in left field Wednesday against the Brewers, John Lott of the National Post reports.

Analysis:

With Jose Bautista limited to designated-hitting duties as he recovers from a hamstring injury, manager John Gibbons needed to get a little creative to get his top batters in the lineup. As a result, Adam Lind, the team's usual DH, will start at first base, while Encarnacion moves to the corner outfield. It's believed that Bautista could be cleared to resume playing in the field before the weekend, making it unlikely Encarnacion logs enough playing time in the outfield to qualify at the position in most formats.
