Jorge Polanco

Jorge Polanco returns to the lineup for the Seattle Mariners against the Oakland Athletics Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Polanco is back after sitting out Friday night for general rest, batting sixth and starting at second base against the Athletics for manager Scott Servais Saturday.

Jorge Polanco went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 5-3 defeat to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the solo shot adding some sparkle to his stat line, Polanco's season continues to be a struggle with a mere .183 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 32.3%. His power numbers are modest with five homers, but the lack of consistent contact and on-base skills (.292 wOBA) limits his fantasy appeal. Owners should view Polanco as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a potential matchup-based option, given his current form and underlying metrics.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a sluggish start to the season with a .203 batting average, Polanco's performance in this game showcased his potential to deliver power and production. His three-run homer and pair of walks contributed significantly to the team's win, hinting at a possible turnaround. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Polanco, as his ability to draw walks and occasional power surges could provide value, especially in leagues that reward on-base percentage.
