Jorge Polanco (Achilles) dealing with soreness - Jorge Polanco News

Polanco continues to deal with left Achilles tendinitis that kept him out of Friday’s lineup against the San Francisco Giants. He has started six of the New York Mets’ first seven games but has been serving as the club’s designated hitter since first experiencing discomfort on March 28. The issue worsened Thursday night, leading to his absence on Friday. It’s currently unclear whether he’ll return to the lineup Saturday or require a stint on the injured list. Mark Vientos drew the start at DH on Friday, while Brett Baty handled first base and could see increased playing time if Polanco misses additional time.
