Jorge Polanco

Player News

Polanco will miss a third straight start Monday due to left knee soreness but is expected back in the lineup Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Polanco started off the season on fire and then cooled considerably in May. He began the month of June with hits in his first 10 starts off the month, but he has cooled again and is hitting just .221/.271/.299 in 21 games during the month with one home run and two steals. You can likely find better options in fantasy leagues. Cal Raleigh will slot in as the designated hitter on Thursday, which will allow Mitch Garver to start behind the plate.

Polanco's first 24 games were so ridiculously good that he still has around a 120 OPS+ for the season. However, since May 4, he's batting .170/.221/.240 in 140 plate appearances. Hopefully, anyone that picked him up early dropped him long ago.
