Idle Monday Polanco is not in the Mets' starting lineup against Atlanta on Monday.

Handling part-time role Polanco will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Though he'll be included in the starting nine for the series finale, Polanco has cracked the Mets' lineup just three times in the last seven games. Since he's not yet cleared to play first base since making his return from a lengthy stay on the shelf due to Achilles and ankle injuries, Polanco will be limited to the DH spot. The Mets may be more inclined to rotate players at DH rather than leaning on Polanco as the primary option, especially while he's mustered a lowly .489 OPS through 21 games on the season.

Taking seat Saturday Polanco isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Polanco will grab a seat in the dutout to begin Saturday's game after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Thursday's second-half opener. While he sits, Juan Soto will work as the Mets' designated hitter, allowing Tyrone Taylor to start in left field.

Taking seat Sunday Polanco is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Polanco will hit the bench for the Mets' final game before the All-Star break while Juan Soto gets a day off from playing the outfield but stays in the lineup at designated hitter. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 7, Polanco has started at DH in four of the Mets' ensuing six games, going 3-for-16 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run. He's not expected to be available to play first base anytime soon coming off injuries to his Achilles and ankle, and unless he's able to catch fire at the plate, Polanco could fade into more of a part-time role at DH once Luis Robert (back) returns from the 60-day IL at some point following the All-Star break.

Impact Polanco will take a seat for Thursday's matinee after he went a combined 2-for-8 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run while serving as the Mets' designated hitter in the first two games of the series following his return from the injured list. Francisco Alvarez will replace Polanco as New York's DH in the series finale.

Impact Polanco originally began a rehab assignment in late May, but the Mets shut him down in early June after he reported renewed soreness in his ankle. Now ready to return to a competitive setting, the 32-year-old will work exclusively as a designated hitter while he ramps up and could eventually take over as the Mets' primary DH once activated.
