Jorge Polanco Back in Saturday's Lineup Against A's
New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco (Achilles) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting third for Saturday's matchup at Citi Field against the visiting Athletics and left-hander Jacob Lopez, according to MLB.com. Polanco has been out of the Mets' lineup for each of the last two games while dealing with Achilles bursitis, which isn't considered a serious issue. For now, the veteran Dominican switch-hitter will return to the starting lineup. Polanco is mostly expected to play first base in his first year in Queens, but if he continues to deal with Achilles issues, we could see him at DH more often than not for the foreseeable future. Mark Vientos will make the start at first base and bat fifth for New York on Saturday. Polanco has gotten off to a slow start in his first year with the Mets, going just 8-for-40 (.200) with no homers, one RBI, and two runs scored. He has a hit in his lone career at-bat against Lopez.
