Mets infielder/designated hitter Jorge Polanco appeared in his first rehab game in nearly a month on Saturday night for Triple-A Syracuse and finished 0-for-3 while batting second and DHing.
In his first at-bat, Polanco, a switch-hitter batting right-handed against the lefty Kolby Allard, swung at the first pitch he saw and popped out to second base. Leading off the fourth inning, the 32-year-old struck out looking against Allard on a 2-2 curveball that appeared to be a bit outside. Polanco did not challenge the call.
An inning later, with the game tied 1-1 and a runner on first base with two outs, Polanco, facing Allard for a third time, once again popped out to second base to end the inning. He was replaced by a pinch-hitter with two outs and nobody on in the seventh inning.
It's been a tough first season in New York for Polanco, who continues to recover from Achilles bursitis that has plagued him all season. In fact, the veteran had to shut down his previous rehab assignment at the beginning of June after six games due to left ankle soreness.
