Jorge Polanco will remain at Triple-A Syracuse for the weekend to build his stamina rather than rejoining the New York Mets in San Diego. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza highlighted Polanco's limited defensive play, noting he has only participated in five innings in his last game. Mendoza stated that Polanco needs to reach a threshold of four at-bats as a designated hitter or seven innings in the field before returning to the major leagues. Currently, Polanco is 2-for-10 (.200) in his rehab assignment, but Mendoza observed improvements in his swing mechanics, suggesting he looks healthier than before his injury. Polanco has been sidelined since April 15 due to a bone bruise in his wrist and left Achilles bursitis, which has prolonged his recovery. Meanwhile, Francisco Alvarez is expected to catch in consecutive games as he recovers from knee surgery, and the Mets' bullpen continues to excel, ranking third in the National League with a 3.23 ERA and leading MLB with 278 strikeouts.
