Scouting Report: Jorge López
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Jorge Polanco signed a two-year, $40 million deal with the Mets this offseason to play first base. Through 14 games, he struggled offensively with a .179 batting average, 1 home run, and 2 RBIs while striking out 11 times. He has been dealing with Achilles bursitis since Opening Weekend and was placed on the IL on April 18 with a wrist injury. Recent updates indicate his wrist is in "a good place," but his Achilles bursitis continues to flare up intermittently. He has begun baseball activities including batting practice, but the Mets are being cautious and need him to become asymptomatic before he can return to daily play and run the bases freely. No clear timeline for return has been established.
Strengths
- Wrist injury progressing well and in good place
- Has begun baseball activities including batting practice
