The New York Mets have placed Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list due to a right wrist contusion, adding to his previous Achilles issues that limited his playtime. The 32-year-old infielder, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract, has struggled this season with a batting average of .179 and a 53 wRC+ in 61 plate appearances. In his absence, the Mets have called up Hayden Senger, a catcher who has been performing exceptionally well in Triple-A Syracuse, hitting five home runs with a .257/.316/.714 line in just 38 plate appearances. This move is expected to allow standout player Francisco Alvarez more opportunities as the designated hitter when he is not catching.
