Overview
- Polanco, who sat Friday at San Francisco, is missing his second start in four games due to Achilles tendonitis.
- The soreness began in the second game of the season and worsened after Thursday's loss, which led the team to hold him out.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza said the infielder is day to day as trainers continue treatment and the club monitors symptoms.
- The Mets adjusted by starting Brett Baty at first base and moving Mark Vientos to DH for the second game of the series.
- Through six games, Polanco is 4-for-23 with no home runs as the team manages his workload to reduce stress on the Achilles.
