Polanco Returns as Mets Rebuild | New York Mets News

The Mets are sliding toward a rebuild, 15 games back in the division and 12 out of a playoff spot, but a major storyline emerges with Jorge Polanco’s return from injury — the $40M first baseman finally back on the field after battling Achilles and wrist woes. Though he only played 14 games before going down, Polanco showed promise in Triple-A with two homers and made an impact in his big league debut, hitting a double and driving in a run. Yet, the team still lost a wild 16-12 game to the Royals, forcing moves like sending Ronny Mauricio down and designating pitchers Carrillo and Zuniga. Polanco’s return is a bright spot amid the chaos — a key piece finally healthy, even if the Mets’ season is heading in a different direction.
