Jorge Polanco’s first season in Queens is over. The Mets placed him on the injured list with left ankle bursitis and manager Andy Green confirmed he will undergo season-ending surgery, saying Polanco simply could not get free of the pain. The two-year, $40 million signing brought in to help absorb Pete Alonso’s departure finishes with 37 games, a .148 average, two home runs and six RBIs, hampered all year by Achilles and ankle trouble. New York now leans on Eric Wagaman and the rest of the depth at first base and DH down the stretch. (source: ESPN, MLB.com, Yahoo Sports, Washington Post, Amazin’ Avenue)
