Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) left Monday's game early after he "banged his knee up pretty good on a slide" at home plate. Tim Beckham came off the bench to replace Polanco and started a game-ending double play. Before departing, Polanco went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Although the 29-year-old's injury didn't seem too serious, fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday to see if Polanco is back in the starting lineup. Polanco is hitting only .235 on the season, but he also has a useful .342 on-base percentage, 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 51 runs scored and three stolen bases for the Twins in 349 at-bats.

The Minnesota Twins activated middle infielder Jorge Polanco (back) from the injured list on Tuesday, and he's starting at second base and batting fifth in Game 2 of a doubleheader against Cleveland Guardians left-hander Konnor Pilkington. Polanco landed on the injured list on June 17 with lower back tightness, but he never ended up going on a minor league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old is hitting .245/.340/.389 overall with seven home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs scored and three stolen bases in 58 games this year, but fantasy managers will be hoping he can pick up where he left off in June, when he was hitting .325 (13-for-40) with two homers and seven RBI in 11 games before his injury.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (back) will go on the injured list due to lower-back tightness. In a corresponding move, outfielder Alex Kirilloff is expected to be called up from the minors to join the Twins in Arizona. Polanco hasn't played since last Sunday, and he'll be out at least a little longer. The 28-year-old's MRI exam didn't show any major injury, so there's a good chance Polanco could return when he's eligible. Luis Arraez should continue to see most of the starts at the keystone with Polanco out. Kirilloff hit .359/.465/.641 with a 1.106 OPS, 10 home runs and 32 RBI in 35 games for Triple-A St. Paul to earn a trip back to the majors. The 24-year-old had just five hits in his first 29 at-bats for the Twins but it was likely due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Polanco will miss his third straight game with back soreness. Luis Arraez will get the start at the keystone on Wednesday and will hit fifth against Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales. Arraez makes a lot of contact and his hitting .354 with a great .436 on-base percentage, but he doesn't have a ton of power for fantasy managers with only three home runs and a .427 slugging percentage in 220 plate appearances over 54 games for the Twins. Meanwhile, rookie Jose Miranda is starting at first base and is batting sixth for the Twins. Miranda has been hot in June, going 12-for-39 (.308) with two homers and eight RBI in 11 games.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (ankle) will return to the lineup and bat third against Royals righty Brad Keller on Friday. Polanco missed the last three games with a right ankle injury, but after testing it out on Friday he feels ready to play. He has had a disappointing season so far after his career year in 2021. Second base is not a deep position, unfortunately, so it is likely that even with his struggles Polanco will be one of the better options for Fantasy managers.

Minnesota Twins skipper Rocco Baldelli said that infielder Jorge Polanco (ankle) could be back in the lineup as early as Friday. Polanco has been receiving treatment on his injured right ankle, which has bothered him on and off. The 28-year-old will miss his third straight game on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Luis Arraez is starting at the keystone and is batting sixth against Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch. Polanco is hitting just .232/.333/.364 with four home runs, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases in 177 plate appearances over 41 games this season. Arraez doesn't provide fantasy managers with much power (seven career homers in 281 games), but he's hitting .347 with a .446 on-base percentage in 36 games for the Twins.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (ankle) is dealing with some slight soreness in his right ankle. Manager Rocco Baldelli said he's not concerned about the injury, but he's hoping a few days off the field for Polanco will help. The 28-year-old will miss his second straight game on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. The switch-hitter is batting just .232/.333/.364 this year with four home runs, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases in 41 games and 177 plate appearances. Nick Gordon is at the keystone on Wednesday and is hitting eighth against Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Luis Arraez will be shifting over to the keystone for the game while Jose Miranda will be manning first base. Polanco is slashing .232/.333/.364 with four home runs, 24 RBI and 18 runs over 41 games on the year. He's shown more patience than usual at the plate this year as he's currently sporting a career-high 13.6% walk rate, up from 7% last year. At the same time, his 24.3% strikeout rate is also a career-high, an increase from 18.3% last year.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco had a busy day on the base paths in the team's 7-6 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. He went 2-for-3 with two singles, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored. Through 40 games this year, Polanco is slashing .231/.335/.367 with four home runs, two stolen bases, 24 RBI and 17 runs. He's currently carrying a career-best hard-hit rate of 40.7% and his 13.9% walk rate ranks in the 92nd percentile.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in an 8-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Polanco hit a two-run homer off of Boston starter Rich Hill in the third inning to give his team a 4-0 lead. The veteran infielder is hitting .229 with two homers, five runs, and seven RBI through 35 at-bats in 2022. Polanco has established himself as one of the better middle infielders in fantasy and should remain a fixture in lineups going forward.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is hitting leadoff on Monday against Boston Red Sox left-hander Rich Hill. With Byron Buxton (knee) still sidelined, Polanco will get his first start in the leadoff spot in the Patriots Day game in Boston. It'll give the 28-year-old a chance at an extra at-bat or two, but he'll also lose some valuable RBI opportunities for DFS gamers. Polanco hasn't been that hot to start the season, going 6-for-30 with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored in his first nine games. Luis Arraez, who has hit leadoff for the Twins the last two games, will start Monday's matinee contest on the bench.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco got off to a rough start to the 2022 season. He went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over his first two games of the year. Since then, however, he has been extremely productive at the plate. Over his last four games, he went 5-for-14 with a home run, a double and three RBI. He only struck out once over the four-game stretch. The 28-year-old had a down year in 2020, but bounced back strong last year as he slashed .269/.323/.503 with 33 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 98 RBI and 97 runs over 152 games.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco has gotten off to a very slow start this spring, slashing .077/.172/.231 with one home run, two RBI, and nine strikeouts in 26 at-bats. Fantasy managers would prefer to see him hitting better, but he had a solid 2021 season, slashing .269/.323/.503 with 33 HR, 98 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. He remains a solid middle infield option for fantasy managers despite his slow spring, especially considering the addition of Carlos Correa to the Twins lineup. Polanco is currently being drafted as the 78th player overall and the 15th middle infielder.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco ended his excellent 2021 campaign with a home run and three RBI in his team's win over Kansas City on the season's final day. Polanco slashed .269/.323/.503 with a career-high 33 homers and 98 RBI, 97 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. Ankle injuries sapped Polanco of his power during the shortened 2020 season, though he had no such trouble in that department this year, posting career bests in barrel rate, exit velocity, launch angle, and hard-hit rate. A late-round discount this year, Polanco will see his ADP rise quite a bit heading into 2022.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Tigers. Polanco's homer traveled 418 feet at 105.8 MPH, and it gave the Twins a 3-0 lead in the first inning. The veteran second baseman has slashed .271/.325/.506 with 32 homers, 94 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. Polanco has been an excellent fantasy asset compared to where he was going in drafts this past spring.

Minnesota Twins shortstop/second baseman Jorge Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs. Luis Arraez is getting the start at second base with Andrelton Simmons at shortstop. This will be Simmons' first game back since being placed on the restricted list due to visa-related issues this past weekend. Polanco has had a strong year overall and that has continued into September. Over 19 games this month, he's slashing .247/.266/.610 with seven home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored. Expect to see him back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Polanco was one of three Twins to homer in the third inning, as he sent a ball 425 feet into the seats at 104.1 MPH. The 28-year-old is having a career year for Minnesota- and has been one of the best draft values relative to ADP. The surging Polanco is a must-start right now, as he's batting .297 with seven homers in September.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco belted his 30th homer of the season in a losing effort to the Yankees Monday. Polanco reached the 30-homer milestone for the first time in his career, sending a 421-foot blast into the outfield seats at 105.5 MPH. The veteran infielder always had some pop in his bat but has taken the next step as a power hitter, posting career highs in exit velocity, barrel rate, launch angle, both expected statistics, and hard-hit rate. Polanco will get a doubleheader against the Indians Tuesday, which will give fantasy managers two games worth of production from the red-hot slugger.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Rays. Polanco got the scoring started for the Twins in the first inning with a solo homer off of Michael Wacha, then later collected an RBI double in the eighth inning. The homer, his 25th of the year, left his bat at 105.1 MPH. Polanco is slashing .276/.334/.498 with 25 homers, 80 RBI, 80 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases. The homers and RBI are new career-highs for Polanco, who has occupied a run-producing spot in the Twins lineup for much of the season. He'll continue to be a strong middle infield play in all formats.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 1-for-2 with a walk and a sacrifice fly in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. Polanco extended his hitting streak to four games with a single in the bottom of the eighth inning, driving in a run with a sacrifice fly earlier in the year. The 28-year-old has been a steady presence for Minnesota this season, as he has slashed .274/.333/.492 with 24 homers, 78 RBI, 79 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases. The Twins lineup doesn't have the upside it had during his breakout 2019 season, but Polanco is putting up numbers to rival that season.
