Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This is good news after Polanco was removed from Sunday's contest due to a minor knee issue. The 31-year-old appears to be fine and will play second base while batting cleanup against right-hander Nick Pivetta on Monday. Fantasy managers who have Polanco rostered can get him back in their lineups.
Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco led the way on Saturday evening as he went 3-for-5 with two home runs and a single. He launched his first solo shot in the fourth and his second in the fifth. Then, in the eighth inning, he hit a line drive single to right field to score newly acquired Mariner Randy Arozarena. This is Polanco's second consecutive game going deep, and he now sits with four long balls this month. In addition, Polanco has only gone hitless twice across his past nine games, which suggests he could be turning the corner on what has been a disappointing season. The 31-year-old is worth adding in deeper leagues and could be a popular play in DFS on Sunday as he looks to stay hot at the plate.
Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 31-year-old has been sluggish with the bat since returning from the injured list. He has an ugly .192/.222/.231 slash line over 27 plate appearances since returning to the field. Dylan Moore will take over second base and bat eighth versus right-hander Kevin Gausman on Friday.
