Jorge Polanco Stats

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco will return to the lineup on Thursday as the team closes out a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco got a routine day off on Wednesday as Ehire Adrianza got the start at shortstop. Despite regularly hitting near the top of a potent Twins lineup, Polanco hasn't had a great season overall. He's slashing .268/.316/.369 with four home runs, 19 runs and 19 RBI over 47 games. Last year, he had a far superior slash line of .295/.356/.485. Still, Polanco should remain in most fantasy lineups due to his upside potential and the strong support around him.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco is getting the day off on Monday as the team wraps up a five-game series with the Detroit Tigers. Ehire Adrianza is getting the start at shortstop in the game while LaMonte Wade Jr. is slotting in at Polanco's typical spot atop the order. Polanco has a slash line of .285/.321/.399 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 18 runs on the year. His production is down a bit overall from last year. His barrel-rate so far this year (2.9%) is well below his 2019 clip (6.7%), but he's striking out just 12.4% of the time this year, compared with 16.5% last year. All in all, Polanco is a solid fantasy contributor who should be started by most fantasy owners on a weekly basis.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Tigers on Sunday. Polanco had been 1-for-8 in his previous three contests after enjoying a five-game hitting streak, so this was a nice performance to get him back on track. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .279/.314/.388 with 38 hits and 16 RBI compared to 15 strikeouts in 35 games played. The power numbers aren't great this year, but Polanco has been a great source of average at the shortstop position. Up next is a tough matchup against White Sox ace Lucas Giolito, who is coming off a no-hitter in his last start.
