Jorge Polanco Placed on Injured List With Wrist Contusion
The New York Mets announced on Saturday that they have placed infielder Jorge Polanco (wrist, Achilles) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 15) with a right-wrist contusion and recalled catcher Hayden Senger from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Polanco has been battling Achilles bursitis early in the 2026 season as well, but it's the wrist contusion that ended up landing him on the shelf. It's not a serious wrist injury, but it will also give Polanco a chance to rest his Achilles. It's another blow to a Mets team that just lost their ninth straight game to the Chicago Cubs on Friday at Wrigley Field. Polanco, 32, is off to a rough start in his first year with the Mets, as he's gone 10-for-56 (.179) at the plate with a homer, two RBI, and three runs scored through his first 14 games of the year. Until he's ready to return, MJ Melendez should see steady at-bats as the team's designated hitter with Juan Soto (calf) and Jared Young (knee) both on the IL as well.
