JORGE POLANCO NEWS

Returns to lineup Polanco (ankle) is batting fifth and playing second base in Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact His ankle appears to be fine, as he pinch ran in Monday's contest and now returns to the starting lineup Tuesday against righty Dean Kremer. The switch hitter has struggled at the plate this year, but especially against right-handed pitchers -- Polanco has just a .584 OPS in 113 plate appearances against righties.

Gets back on field Polanco (right ankle) appeared as a pinch runner and played second base in Monday's win over Baltimore. "We prefer him to feel nothing, but I think he's going to be OK to play goi...

Impact Polanco did not start for a fourth consecutive game due to a sore ankle, which is concerning given that he's had ankle injuries the past two seasons. Last season, he played with a bone spur and a small bone chip in his right ankle which ultimately required offseason surgery. However, it's promising that he was able to appear as a pinch runner, as it doesn't seem likely the Twins would employ him that way if the ankle was a major concern.
