Jorge Polanco Taking Live At-Bats, Progressing Toward Rehab Assignment
New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco (Achilles, wrist) has been taking live at-bats in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and is progressing toward a minor-league rehab assignment, according to The Athletic's Tim Britton. Polanco remains on the 10-day injured list with Achilles soreness and a right-wrist contusion, and at this point, he has acknowledged that it is a matter of figuring out the amount of pain he can tolerate this year. The 32-year-old veteran Dominican infielder has been sidelined since the middle of April, but it appears that his return from the IL could be on the horizon if he can get cleared to play in rehab games soon. Polanco has power upside for a player eligible at second base in fantasy, but for a player with a lengthy injury history, managers will continue to find it hard to trust him. It's why he's only rostered in 24% of Yahoo leagues right now. He has gotten off to a bad start in his first year with the Mets in 2026, and he had gone just 10-for-56 (.179) with a homer, two RBI, and three runs scored in his first 14 games before getting injured.
