Overview

  • The club announced Saturday that Polanco went on the injured list retroactive to April 15 and catcher Hayden Senger was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
  • The wrist issue surfaced after Tuesday’s loss to the Dodgers, an MRI followed on Thursday, and manager Carlos Mendoza said there is no timetable for a return.
  • Mendoza said doctors first thought the wrist looked like a hit-by-pitch, but Polanco reported pain from a few swings and the team labeled it a contusion or bone bruise.
  • Polanco had already been limited by Achilles bursitis, logging only two games at first base and posting a .179/.246/.286 line over 61 plate appearances.
  • New York plans to cover first base and DH with Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, and MJ Melendez, while Senger’s call-up lets Francisco Alvarez see more at-bats as the designated hitter during the team’s nine-game slide.
