Mets Place Jorge Polanco on 10-Day Injured List

The New York Mets placed infielder and designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list ^[1].

This move removes a key veteran presence from the Mets lineup during the early stages of the season. The loss of Polanco forces the team to adjust its offensive strategy and rely on depth players to fill the gap in the infield.

The team designated the move as retroactive to Wednesday, April 15 ^[1], ^[3]. Polanco is sidelined due to a right wrist contusion ^[1], ^[2]. This injury comes as the player continues to manage his physical health after dealing with left Achilles bursitis for most of the previous season ^[1].

To address the roster vacancy, the Mets recalled catcher Hayden Senger ^[1]. Senger joins the active roster to provide depth while the team monitors Polanco's recovery timeline.

The right wrist contusion is a sore wrist that limits Polanco's ability to perform at a professional level ^[2]. The 10-day window is the standard minimum placement for players on the injured list ^[1].

Team officials have not provided a specific date for Polanco's return, but the retroactive designation indicates the injury occurred mid-week. The Mets will continue to evaluate the wrist's healing process before reintegrating Polanco into the active lineup.
