Mets’ Jorge Polanco Continues Rehab with Impressive Homer in Triple-A

Jorge Polanco is rediscovering his power during his ongoing rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets’ infielder showcased his abilities on Sunday afternoon by hitting his second home run in three games, a promising sign as he works his way back from injury.

Although Polanco finished the game with just one hit in four at-bats, the two-run blast was a highlight, coming off a 1-1 sweeper that he sent soaring 360 feet to right field. This moment represents a significant step in his recovery from an Achilles injury, and the Mets are eager to see him continue to build on this momentum.

Mets interim manager Andy Green expressed optimism regarding Polanco’s progress during a conversation on Saturday night, noting how well the veteran has performed throughout his rehabilitation. However, he acknowledged that it remains too early to set a definitive return date for Polanco.

The plan for Polanco includes another game with Syracuse on Tuesday, after which the team will evaluate his condition. Upon his return to the big leagues, he is expected to primarily take on designated hitter duties, further strengthening the Mets’ lineup.
