Moves to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Polanco (Achilles/ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Impact He has already spent over 60 days on the shelf, so the transaction won't affect Polanco's timeline for a return and was made for the purpose of opening up a 40-man roster spot for infielder Zack Short, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Tigers. Polanco was pulled off his rehab assignment earlier this month when he experienced renewed soreness in his ankle, but he received a favorable evaluation after undergoing an MRI last week and is expected to resume playing in minor-league games this week. He'll be used exclusively as a designated hitter when he restarts the assignment and could eventually displace MJ Melendez as the top option at that spot once he's deemed ready to return from the IL.

MRI comes back clean An MRI on Polanco's left ankle/Achilles tendon came back negative Tuesday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Polanco has battled problems with his Achilles all season, and the Mets paused his rehab assignment Saturday due to renewed soreness in his left ankle. Now that the 32-year-old has been cleared of any structural damage, the Mets will decide against shutting him down and look to have him resume batting practice within the next few days.

Rehab halted due to ankle soreness The Mets announced Saturday that Polanco's rehab assignment has been halted due to ankle soreness.

Impact Polanco began a rehab assignment last week and was expected to be nearing a return to the Mets' lineup, but he reported soreness in his ankle Saturday and will head back to New York to be reevaluated. The 32-year-old has dealt with Achilles and wrist issues this season, and he's now dealing with yet another injury. Polanco has been limited to 61 plate appearances across 14 games this season, and he's slashed an underwhelming.179/.246/.286 with one homer and two RBI.

Impact Polanco (achilles/wrist), who has been on the injured list since April 18, will head back to New York to reevaluate his injury. The 32-year-old had been making strides during his rehab assignment until the Mets abruptly shut it down. In his first season with the Mets, Polanco has appeared in just 14 games slashing .179/.246/.286 in 56 at-bats.

Will not be activated this weekend Polanco (Achilles/wrist) will remain on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse through the weekend, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Mets previously hadn't ruled out a return for Polanco during this weekend's series in San Diego. However, the club has elected to wait until next week, likely targeting Tuesday versus the Cardinals at the start of a homestand. Polanco has been sidelined since mid-April with a right wrist contusion and left Achilles bursitis.

Mets beat writer reveals plan for Jorge Polanco upon return from lingering achilles injury | Sporting News The New York Mets will be getting back Jorge Polanco sometime soon. It seems like the plan for when he gets back is already set in place.

JUNE 3 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Playing first base on rehab stint Polanco (Achilles/wrist) played in back-to-back games for Double-A Binghamton on Friday and Saturday, going 1-for-3 with two walks, two strikeouts, a home run and three RBI.

Impact Perhaps more importantly, the 32-year-old started Saturday's game at first base, indicating that the Mets haven't given up on the idea of Polanco being an important contributor at the position. He has yet to play a full nine innings in any of his three rehab games, however, so activation from the IL may not be imminent. Per Max Ralph of MLB.com, manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged over the weekend that Polanco wasn't going to be fully healthy when he does return. "It's to a point where he's not going to be 100 percent," Mendoza said. "But as he went through the intensity [of baseball activities], the running the bases and the sprinting and all that, the next day, it's like, 'Hey, it's not getting any worse. I feel better.' The biggest thing was that it wasn't getting any worse, and he was able to manage it and was like, 'I'm good to go now.' " Once he does rejoin the big-league roster, Polanco will compete with Mark Vientos, Brett Baty and Jared Young for playing time at 1B and DH.
