    Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion likely will be sidelined for four to five days because of back inflammation.

    The two-time All-Star said he felt a little tightness after Sunday's game against Pittsburgh and had a precautionary MRI on Monday night.

    "We're checking it today to see what I have," Encarnacion said Tuesday. "It's something I want to make sure it's right. ... I want to do that before I continue my work."

    Manager John Gibbons expects the first baseman-designated hitter to return to the lineup in about a week.

    "It's just irritation, you know, a lot of swings early in camp," Gibbons said. "There's no damage in there."
