I'm not sure how Encarnacion was able to spend four years in the DSL.  It's my understanding that there's a limit to three years per player.  He's obviously beyond the prospect stage, at any rate.  He may have been called up simply because the team needed another catcher in minor league camp.  He wasn't on any roster when the short-season teams opened play, so he may have been released or he may remained at the training facility.
