Jorge Polanco Not Playing Thursday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is getting the day off on Thursday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. With Polanco starting on the bench, Donovan Solano will man the keystone and will hit third in the order against A's right-hander Luis Medina.

Due to injuries, Polanco has played in only 78 games for Minnesota this year, and he's hitting .258/.339/.461 with an .800 OPS, 14 home runs, 18 doubles, 48 RBI, four stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 336 trips to the plate.

Jorge Polanco Back From Bereavement List

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco was activated from the bereavement list on Wednesday and is back in the starting lineup to take on the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Taj Bradley. The Twins sent infielder Gilberto Celestino back to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Polanco will return to the lineup after missing the last three games. The switch-hitting 30-year-old Dominican has played in only 68 games this year due to injuries and is hitting .260 (66-for-254) with 12 home runs, 15 doubles, 41 RBI, four stolen bases and 31 runs scored in 290 plate appearances. So far in the month of September, he's gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two home runs, a double, five RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in eight starts.

Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Second Base

With the regular season winding down, a number of teams (and their fanbases) are already starting to turn their attention towards the offseason. Identifying free agent targets is a big part of that prep work, so it's worth taking an early look at the players who'll be available on the open market. We’ve already covered…

Jorge Polanco Resting Against Brew Crew

Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco will take a day off on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Royce Lewis is manning third base and is batting cleanup, while Edouard Julien is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff against Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes. Polanco is getting a day of rest after starting the last 13 games. In the month of August, Polanco is hitting .246 (16-for-65) with three home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs scored in 19 games (18 starts). The 30-year-old Dominican has an intriguing power/speed profile, but he's missed more time with injuries in 2023 and has played in just 52 games for the Twins.

Jorge Polanco Activated From Injured List

The Minnesota Twins activated infielder Jorge Polanco (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned right-hander Cole Sands to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Polanco is right back in the starting lineup on Friday against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer, playing third base and batting fifth for the Twins. The 30-year-old switch-hitter looked good during his minor-league rehab assignment and should be a lineup regular for Minnesota now that he's back. Because of his power/speed combination, Polanco is attractive in mixed fantasy leagues, although he's had a tough time staying healthy. In just 120 at-bats in 2023, he's hitting .250/.291/.450 with five homers, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Jorge Polanco Expected To Return This Weekend

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) will play in a minor-league rehab game on Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul and then fly to Kansas City with the Twins to be activated from the 10-day injured list on the road trip. Polanco should be back in Minnesota's starting lineup on Friday for the series opener against the Royals, so fantasy managers should look to potentially scoop him up off the waiver wire if he's available in your league. The 30-year-old should see plenty of playing time at third base for the Twins against right-handed pitchers when he's back, and his power/speed combination shouldn't go overlooked. The Dominican switch-hitter was batting .250 (30-for-120) with five homers, nine doubles, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored in 30 games before his injury.

Jorge Polanco To Play More Third Base During Rehab

Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is expected to get some action at third base during his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul. Manager Rocco Baldelli has indicated that Polanco would see additional time at the hot corner rather than second base amidst his rehab time. With current second baseman Edouard Julien slashing a mighty .318/.399/.565 in 179 plate appearances this year, it makes sense for the Twins to seek ways to preserve the rookie's bat in the lineup. Polanco has been on the mend since June 8 with a left hamstring strain, but he's staring at possible late-July return. It's been a long season for the 30-year-old, who also missed the outset of the campaign bothered by left knee inflammation. Fantasy managers should consider stashing the switch-hitting Polanco if they need help at the keystone or potentially even third base with eligibility seeming to come at some point.

Jorge Polanco Starts Rehab Assignment Sunday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) started a rehab assignment on Sunday with Triple-A Saint Paul, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a strikeout. Polanco has been out of action since June 8 with a hamstring injury that has hampered him for most of the season. When he's been healthy, Polanco has been decent, slashing .250/.291/.450 over 120 at-bats. The 30-year-old isn't a must-roster player anymore, but he can help out a fantasy team in need of a second baseman or middle infielder, especially in deeper leagues.

Twins Notes: Miranda, Polanco, Prielipp

The Twins suffered another hit to their infield depth today, as they placed third baseman Jose Miranda on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement. In a corresponding move, the club called up outfielder Matt Wallner from Triple-A. It’s been a brutal year at the plate for Miranda, who entered the season as…

Jorge Polanco Almost Ready For Rehab Assignment

According to Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey, second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is nearly ready for a rehab assignment. While there isn't a definitive date set, Falvey believes Polanco may head out "around next weekend." The veteran, who has battled nagging hamstring injuries this season, recently began baseball activities. However, although things appear to be trending favorably, fantasy managers will have a tough time believing Polanco will remain healthy, considering his injury-plagued past.
