The New York Mets<\/a> on Saturday called Jorge Polanco<\/a> back from his minor league rehab assignment for further testing on his ankle after the veteran infielder said he was having soreness.<\/p>\n

Polanco was placed on the injured list on April 15<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, has appeared in just 14 games for the Mets and is hitting .179 with a home run and two RBIs.<\/p>\n

This is Polanco’s seventh stint on the injured list since the 2022 season.<\/p>\n
