The Black Knight

Edwin Encarnacion says he’ll play:

Encarnacion was wearing a boot and using crutches Saturday during a day off in the best-of-5 matchup. The Indians lead 2-0.

He said nothing is broken in his ankle and described himself as being day to day.

“I don’t know if ‘remarkably better’ is a good word, but pretty close,” Francona said of Encarnacion. “He’s doing much better today. … So we’ll take our time and allow him to continue to get treatment. But if he’s that close to being available, that’s a really good sign. So we’re obviously not going to do anything roster-wise.”

Reminds me of this:

Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
Black Knight: ‘Tis but a scratch.
Arthur: A SCRATCH? Your arm’s off!
Black Knight: No it isn’t!
Arthur: Well what’s that then? (pointing to the arm lying on the ground)
Black Knight: I’ve had worse.
Arthur: You LIAR!
Black Knight: Come on, you pansy!

I hope his return works out better than the return of Eduardo Nunez.
