Jorge Polanco Undergoes Surgery
5 years agoMinnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (ankle) had surgery for an ankle impingement last Friday. It was a chronic injury due to repetitive stress, but he should be able to resume baseball activities in six weeks and be ready for spring training next year. The 26-year-old switch-hitter was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2019, hitting .295/.356/.485 with 22 home runs, 79 RBI and four stolen bases in 153 games. He had never before hit more than 13 long balls in a single season, though, so be careful not to overvalue him in fantasy drafts in 2020. At the right price, however, he'll be a solid shortstop option once the elite names are off the board.
