2025 Fantasy Outlook
Polanco underwent knee surgery in October after playing through the injury for the Mariners, but the organization declined his $12 million club option for 2025 since he posted a career-worst .213/.296/.355 slash line in 118 games. He later re-signed with Seattle to a one-year, $7.75 million deal. The veteran infielder is expected to be fully healthy for the start of the season, but his injury history is a concern since he's played 120 games in a season just three times since becoming an MLB regular in 2017. Even after the down offensive year, Polanco still has a .765 OPS for his career, and he's a decent rebound candidate since he's entering his age-31 campaign. He's hit at least 14 home runs in each of the past five full-length seasons, and he has a .259 batting average during that stretch. Polanco carries some risk given last year's performance, but that could also drive down his cost for fantasy managers looking for an affordable infielder. The big question is whether he can stay healthy in 2025, which has been a common refrain throughout his career. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Jorge Polanco compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Polanco again battled durability issues in 2023, missing significant time due to ankle, knee and hamstring injuries, but he registered a .789 OPS with 14 home runs across 80 games when healthy. Polanco missed the final month of 2022 with a knee injury and his rehab then stalled during spring training postponing his debut until late April. He then missed about eight weeks between two IL stints for a strained left hamstring. When healthy, he had similar underlying metrics as last season with a strong walk rate (10.5%), a slightly better hard hit rate (40.6% to 38.7%), exit velocity (88.4 to 89.0) and Barrel rate (13.8 to 10.2). Defensive metrics were a mixed bag for evaluating his defense, but he's still seen as a good defender when healthy. He also played 15 games at third base when the Twins were thin at the hot corner, which could give him added position eligibility in some formats. Polanco has decent power for a middle infielder and good command of the strike zone, so he can still produce like his All-Star season when healthy. However, he may be a significant health risk since he's missed significant time to injury each of the last two seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Receives AL POTW honors
Polanco was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Polanco was already enjoying a hot start to the season as he entered the week with a .910 OPS, but he turned things up even more and went 8-for-17 with two doubles, four home runs, eight RBI and five runs in five contests. After posting a career-worst .651 OPS last season, the 31-year-old switch hitter re-signed with Seattle and is enjoying a resurgence, despite the fact that he's dealing with a side injury that has kept him from playing the field and hitting from the right side.
