Jorge Polanco was placed on the injured list on April 15 with a right wrist contusion as well as left Achilles bursitis. He was scheduled to play for Triple-A Syracuse before returning to the majors, but the Mets have instead decided to proceed with further evaluation of the ankle in New York.
The 32-year-old switch-hitting Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract in the offseason to be the team's replacement for Pete Alonso, has appeared in just 14 games for the Mets and is hitting .179 with a home run and two RBIs.
