Polanco’s Return Could Shake Mets Roster

Jorge Polanco is inching back toward full health, moving up to Triple-A Syracuse as he recovers from a left Achilles injury — a major boost for the Mets who hope he’s ready to return by June 5th, potentially in time for the Padres series.

With the Mets already battling injuries, Polanco’s ability to play multiple positions and adapt late in games could be crucial. But the real test? Can his Achilles handle back-to-back games and the physical demands of the game? His performance in rehab will determine whether he’s back as the player they need — or just a shadow of his former self. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
