Gregory Polanco News
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco was placed on outright waivers on Sunday. Despite that, he'll be starting in right field versus righty Will Crowe and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. It's unlikely that any team claims Polanco since he's hitting .199 with 11 home runs and 34 RBI this season. Regardless, a chance of scenery isn't going to give him enough upside to warrant rostering in fantasy formats. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Polanco in fantasy leagues going forward.
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Gregory Polanco on outright waivers Sunday, according to Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. If he goes unclaimed, he can become a free agent if he doesn't want a minor league assignment. Polanco, who has spent eight seasons in the Pirates outfield, has never lived up to the hype that he once had with a career .240/.309/.408 slash line. It's been ugly 2020 season, as he's hit .198 with 11 HRs, 34 RBI, 36 runs, and 14 SBs. If he can latch onto another team, he has some deep-league significance with double-digit homers and steals but can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in an 11-6 loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. It was his 10th homer of the year, as he's now slashing .202/.282/.373 with nine steals, 25 RBI and 25 runs scored over 74 games. While it is a slight increase in production from last year, Polanco's numbers are still a far cry from what he used to put up at the plate. He has heated up a bit at the plate over his last seven games, slashing .308/.471/.615 with one home run, one steal, two RBI and two runs scored. It's a good start, and if he can continue to swing the hot bat then he could become fantasy relevant once more, but for now he can be left on the waiver wire.
