Jorge Polanco Now Dealing With Wrist Issue
New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco (Achilles, wrist) is in a "better place" with his Achilles bursitis on Friday, but now he's dealing with a right-wrist issue, manager Carlos Mendoza told Max Goodman of NJ.com. The Mets are waiting for MRI results on Polanco's wrist. Although his Achilles bursitis is not considered serious, Polanco could land on the 10-day injured list this weekend. He is not in the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday as the Mets get set to take on the hosting Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. With Jared Young also on the shelf with a torn meniscus in his left knee, MJ Melendez could see the majority of starts at designated hitter for the Mets against right-handed pitchers until Polanco can return. Brett Baty is starting at first base and batting eighth on Friday against Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera. Polanco, who has a history of lower-body injuries, is hitting just .179 (10-for-56) to start his Mets tenure.
