Taking seat Sunday
Polanco is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Analisi
Polanco will hit the bench for the Mets' final game before the All-Star break while Juan Soto gets a day off from playing the outfield as the designated hitter. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 7, Polanco has started at DH in four of six games, going 3-for-16 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run. He's not expected to be available to play first base anytime soon coming off injuries to his Achilles and ankle, and unless he's able to catch fire at the plate, Polanco could find himself on the bench once Luis Robert (back) returns from the 60-day IL at some point following the All-Star break.

Heading to bench Thursday
Polanco is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.
Analisi
Polanco will take a seat for Thursday's matinee after he went a combined 2-for-8 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run while serving as the Mets' designated hitter in the first two games of the series following his return from the injured list. Francisco Alvarez will replace Polanco as New York's DH in the series finale.

Comes off injured list
The Mets reinstated Polanco (Achilles/ankle/wrist) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Analisi
The 33-year-old is ready to rejoin the Mets after an absence of nearly three months due to Achilles, ankle and wrist injuries. The switch-hitting Polanco is expected to work exclusively as a designated hitter early on after the lengthy IL stint. He played in just 14 games prior to landing on the shelf and batted .179 (10-for-56) with one home run and three doubles.
