Jorge Polanco Fantasy Stats

Free-agent infielder Jorge Polanco "remains a priority" for the Seattle Mariners front office, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Polanco had a resurgent 2025 season in Seattle, slashing .265/.326/.495 with 26 home runs, 78 RBI, 64 runs scored, and six stolen bases across 524 plate appearances. The 32-year-old is more of a designated hitter than a defender at any position at this point in his career, but he can still log a few innings at any infield position other than shortstop. Polanco is also a switch-hitter who has logged double-digit barrel rates in four out of the last five seasons and cut his strikeout rate to 15.6% in 2025, his lowest full-season mark since 2017. If he does re-sign with the Mariners, Polanco would likely slot in as the team's opening-day designated hitter.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco declined his $6 million vesting player option for the 2026 season on Wednesday, a source told Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Polanco is now officially a free agent, although there will be interest from the Mariners to try and re-sign him. The 32-year-old Dominican switch-hitter played in 138 games in 2025 for the M's, just the fourth time in his 12 MLB seasons he's played over 130 games, and hit .265/.326/.495 with an .821 OPS, 26 home runs, 78 RBI, 64 runs scored, and six stolen bases in his second year in Seattle. The oft-injured middle infielder will now try to parlay his strong season into a multi-year deal on the open market. The Mariners are expected to make a strong push to retain Polanco's services after they came just one game shy of advancing to their first-ever World Series appearance.

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Polanco will miss his third game in a row due to left knee soreness. He recently tweaked his left knee, but it's not considered a serious injury and he's expected back for Game 2 of the series against the Royals on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. In the meantime, Mitch Garver will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh versus right-hander Michael Wacha on Monday. Although Polanco is expected back on Tuesday, it's an injury worth watching since he already had surgery on the same knee.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco and third baseman Ben Williamson are resting for Saturday's divisional tilt on the road against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Cole Young will start at third base and hit ninth, while Miles Mastrobuoni is at the keystone and batting eighth against Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker. Polanco has managed to stay healthy so far this year and is currently slashing a modest .248/.302/.434 with a .736 OPS, 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases in 67 games played. The switch-hitting Dominican infielder has really struggled of late, though, going 5-for-35 (.143) with a double, three RBI, one steal, three runs and a 7:4 K:BB in 10 games since June 15. Those setting DFS lineups shouldn't be getting excited at all about using either Mastrobuoni or Young as deep sleepers near the bottom of Seattle's lineup.

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco will not be in his team's lineup for their series opener against the hosting Chicago Cubs on Friday. It's a routine day off for the Dominican Republic native, as he started the last 13 contests for Seattle. Teammate Cole Young will man the keystone and bat ninth, while Mitch Garver handles DH duties from the five-hole against southpaw Matthew Boyd. Polanco has cooled off considerably after a red-hot April in which he hit .379. Since then, he's just 24-for-132 (.182) with two homers, four doubles, and 11 runs scored to match his RBI total. A stark contrast to the eight home runs he mashed in 58 April at-bats.

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Polanco was struggling at the plate, but snapped a seven-game hitless streak during Friday's game. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran infielder. In his absence, Cal Raleigh will shift over to the designated hitter spot while Mitch Garver covers behind the plate versus right-hander Bailey Ober on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch.

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. After a rough 2024 campaign, Polanco has bounced back nicely early this year. He's slashing .327/.372/.673 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 31 games. Despite that, Polanco will head to the bench against tough left-hander Max Fried on Tuesday. In his absence, Mitch Garver will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter against Fried. Garver has good career numbers against left-handed pitching, but Fried has been on another level to start the season. That being said, Garver won't be a recommended streaming option while Polanco can be benched in fantasy formats on Tuesday.

Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup with a left-hander on the mound on Wednesday in the series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Catcher Cal Raleigh is serving as the DH and is batting third, while Mitch Garver is catching and hitting fifth against Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. Polanco has only been able to hit from the left side in games recently due to a minor side injury, so he'll take a seat in this one despite hitting two home runs and driving in five in the win on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Dominican switch-hitter has been raking in his first 72 at-bats in 2025, slashing .389/.423/.819 with nine homers, 25 RBI and 12 runs scored. Fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineups immediately when he returns to face a right-hander. Raleigh has a homer and three RBI in 10 career at-bats versus Anderson.

Seattle Mariners designated hitter/third baseman Jorge Polanco had a huge night on Tuesday, smacking a pair of homers and driving in all five of the M's runs in a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Polanco is the hottest hitter in the majors right now, with six homers and 13 RBI in his last six games. With this performance, he bumps up his season numbers to a .389 AVG, 1.242 OPS, 12 runs, nine homers, 25 RBI, and a steal in 72 at-bats. Polanco has been phenomenal and is a must-roster and must-start player in all formats right now. He is still on the waiver wire in some leagues, so make a claim for him while you still can.

Seattle Mariners designated hitter/third baseman Jorge Polanco went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win over the Miami Marlins. Polanco has four homers in his last four games as he continues to play some of the best ball of his career. The 31-year-old has been studly for the M's this year, hitting .354 with a 1.085 OPS, 10 runs, seven homers, 18 RBI, and a stolen base in 65 at-bats. The only issue for Polanco right now is that he isn't playing every day, but at this point, he should still be rostered in most fantasy leagues, at least until he cools off.
