Jorge Polanco News
After missing the last month of the 2022 season, Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is expected to start the season on the injured list. Polanco was termed with left knee tendentious that sidelined him for a considerable amount of time last season. He hasn't played in spring training yet, and he's doubtful to play until he has no restrictions. The 29-year-old played in 104 games last season and slashed .235/.346/.405 with a .751 OPS with 16 HRs. Barring any injuries, Polanco is one of the best second basemen in the business, and it's quite vital that the Twins get him healthy soon. For fantasy managers, Polanco has a ton of upside and he should be his productive self if he stays on the field.
Opening Day is in doubt for Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco (knee) and outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist). Polanco hasn't graduated from batting practice to exhibition games in camp after missing the final 58 games in 2022 with a bone bruise in his left knee. Kirilloff took two at-bats in a minor-league game over the weekend, but the Twins continue to be cautious with the young hitter. If Polanco is able to play on Tuesday, he'd need only a few days beyond the opener to be ready. But without him logging any time at second base, the bigger question is where Polanco would play as he continues to ramp up his activities. Because Kirilloff played Saturday, the Twins intend to delay a decision on his immediate future.
Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco (knee) continues to deal with a lingering issue that could sideline him for the rest of the season. Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey mentioned that Polanco is still battling with his left knee soreness. That being said, it seems extremely unlikely that Polanco gets back on the field this season. He wasn't hitting that well, so the team will likely opt to rest him over taking a risk and having him suffer a worse injury. Before going down, Polanco was hitting .235/.346/.405 with 16 long balls, 56 RBI through 104 games. Fantasy managers should look for another option if they still roster Polanco.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco had a disappointing, injury-riddled 2022 season for fantasy managers after a standout 2021 season. The 29-year-old slashed .235/.346/.405 with 16 home runs and 56 RBI in 445 plate appearances while spending time on the injured list with low back tightness and left knee inflammation. Several things contributed to Polanco not repeating his stellar 2021 campaign. The first was injuries, which fantasy managers should not worry about as long as Polanco enters 2023 healthy, as he has not been injury-prone throughout his career. The second was over-expectations. Polanco's 2022 batted-ball profile was similar to 2021, but he hadn't hit more than 22 HR previously and typically hit more for average. Polanco is currently being drafted at pick 161 overall, a big drop from 78 last season. This places him as the 10th 2B overall. Polanco hasn't been the most exciting fantasy option outside of 2021, but he has been a reliable source of average, runs, and RBI while not killing fantasy managers in HR. Given his historical performance, Polanco's current ADP is a steal, assuming he enters the season healthy.
