Gets breather for matinee game Polanco is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Polanco will get a breather for the series finale after he started each of the Twins' five games since he was activated from the injured list last Friday while going 9-for-22 with a home run, four doubles, six RBI and three runs across those contests. Donovan Solano will check in for Polanco at second base.

Moves up to three spot Polanco is batting third and playing second base for the Twins in Monday's game versus the Yankees.

Impact Polanco batted fifth twice and sixth once over the weekend against the Nationals in his return to action, but he's earned a move up in the batting order after tallying three hits -- including a home run -- Sunday. The veteran second baseman got a late start to the season due to a nagging knee issue.

Hits first home run Polanco went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's win over Washington.

Impact Polanco is 5-for-13 with a double and home run in his first three games back from the injured list. There has been talk that the Twins may rest him against a left-handed pitcher this week to ease him back to action, but he may be tough to sit if he stays hot at the plate. He looks back to full strength, but continue to monitor his left knee. Polanco missed the final month of 2022 with a left knee injury, and his progress stalled in the Grapefruit League which delayed his 2023 debut until this weekend.

Twins IF Jorge Polanco returns from IL, ready for season debut The Minnesota Twins reinstated infielder Jorge Polanco from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

APRIL 21, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Activated from injured list Polanco (knee) was activated Friday from the 15-day injured list, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Polanco is set to make his 2023 debut Friday night against the Nationals after missing the first three weeks of the season because of a lingering left knee injury. He slashed just .231/.323/.269 over 31 plate appearances on his eight-game minor-league rehab assignment, but the 29-year-old should be a useful fantasy option at second base as he returns to the Twins' active roster. Edouard Julien was sent out to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on return Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Thursday that Polanco (knee) is "pretty close to coming back," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Park suspects that Polanco will be activated in the early portion of the Twins' upcoming homestand, which begins Friday against the Nationals and runs through April 30. Polanco has already played in eight minor-league rehab games between Single-A Fort Myers and Triple-A St. Paul, though he's slashed just .231/.323/.269 across 31 plate appearances. The 29-year-old second baseman is recovering from a lingering left injury. He said Wednesday that it's "100 percent" healthy.

Says knee is 100 percent Polanco told Alec Ausmus of KSTP-TV in an interview Wednesday that his left knee feels "100 percent."

Impact Polanco did add regarding the knee that he "might need to strengthen it a little bit more." The second baseman moved his rehab assignment up to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and is expected to remain there a little bit longer to knock some rust off. Polanco is on track to be activated before the end of April.

Impact Polanco went 5-for-18 with one double in six games with Low-A Fort Myers and is now ready to rest things out against stiffer competition. The veteran second baseman is working his way back from a left knee issue and should be ready for his season debut in the next week or so.

Impact Polanco missed the final month of 2022 with a knee injury, and his progress stalled in the Grapefruit League. He began a rehab assignment April 6 and the Twins said they wanted him to get in several weeks of work before activating him from the injured list.

Set for second rehab game Polanco (knee) is scheduled to play seven innings in his second rehab game Saturday with Low-A Fort Myers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Polanco played five innings at second base in his rehab debut Thursday and went 1-for-3 with a single and two strikeouts. He could advance to another level after Saturday's game, but the Twins generally want to slow-play this rehab assignment because Polanco missed most of spring training with a lingering left knee injury. There's no exact timetable for his 2023 debut.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Polanco (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers on Thursday.

Impact Polanco will play second base and bat second for the Mighty Mussels. It's not clear how many rehab games the veteran infielder will require before being activated, as it could depend on how his left knee is feeling. Polanco is eligible for activation at any time.

Impact Polanco missed the final month of 2022 with a knee injury, and his progress stalled in the Grapefruit League. Just a week ago the Twins were talking about him playing in minor league games, but now it sounds like any game action may be weeks away. Paparesta's comments make it sound like his ramp up could extend into late April or early May.

To hit in front of trainers Tuesday Polanco (knee) will do some hitting in front of trainers Tuesday before the Twins determine his next step, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Polanco is going through baseball activities without limitations but hasn't done any live hitting since he had a little setback with his surgically-repaired left knee in mid-March. He will remain in extended spring training while the club heads north and it's not clear at this time how long he might be sidelined.

Impact The 29-year-old missed the final month of 2022 with a knee injury, and his progress stalled in the Grapefruit League. He's set to begin the regular season on the injured list. This looks like a significant step in his return as he has not played in any games this spring. He still likely has several major hurdles to clear, but this gives hope he could return earlier rather than later in the regular season.
