Set for season-ending ankle surgery
Mets interim manager Andy Green said Wednesday that Polanco will undergo season-ending surgery on his left ankle, Steve Gelbs of SNY.tv reports.
Analyse
Polanco has been limited to only 37 games with the Mets while battling a nagging ankle/Achilles issue throughout the campaign. It's unclear what the exact nature of the procedure will be or how long his rehab might last, though Green said that the 33-year-old should be ready to take part in baseball activities by the start of spring training, per David Lennon of Newsday. Polanco --who is set to earn $23 million in 2027 in his final year under contract -- finishes his first season in New York with an ugly .148/.201/.230 slash line over 145 plate appearances. He made his first two starts of the season at first base but served exclusively as a designated hitter thereafter, so he'll likely be eligible only as a utility player in most fantasy leagues at the start of the 2027 campaign.

Back to IL with ankle bursitis
The Mets placed Polanco on the 10-day injured list with left ankle bursitis.
Analyse
Polanco has dealt with a left ankle/Achilles issue throughout the season and it's become clear the nagging injury has greatly affected him, leading to a lowly .148/.201/.230 batting line with two home runs over 37 contests. The Mets didn't reveal a timetable for Polanco's return, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was shut down for the season.

Idle Wednesday
Polanco is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.
Analyse
Polanco will head to the bench after he went 1-for-6 with a walk while serving as the Mets' designated hitter in the first two contests of the series. Since coming off the 60-day injured list July 7, Polanco has yet to start more than two consecutive games and is slashing just .103/.153/.176 with a 30.1 percent strikeout rate.
