Playing in just his second rehab game with Double-A Binghamton, Jorge Polanco made his presence felt on Friday night.
The Mets veteran was in as the DH and had walked in his first two at-bats before coming up in the fifth inning with runners on first and second base.
Polanco made the most of the scoring opportunity, blasting a three-run home run over the right field wall against Portland Sea Dogs RHP Cade Feeney, giving the Rumble Ponies a 3-0 lead.
It's Polanco's first HR and second hit during his rehab assignment, having gone 1-for-2 with a single on Wednesday. He was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the seventh inning by TT Bowens, finishing the day 1-for-1 with three RBI and two walks.
The DH/1B will play again with Binghamton on Saturday and then get an off day on Sunday as Polanco nears a return to the majors, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said earlier Friday. The team will then take it day by day, and he could be back for the next road trip, mostly playing DH.
Polanco has been out with Achilles bursitis and a wrist issue since April 14 and is hitting just .179 with one home run and two RBI through 14 games.
