Polanco pulled from game vs. White Sox
Jorge Polanco was pulled from Sunday’s game against the White Sox in the seventh inning due to a minor knee issue. The 31-year-old second baseman is still dealing with a bit of soreness in his knee, so the Mariners wanted to play things safe and get him off of his feet for a couple of innings. It doesn’t sound like anything that should lead to an extended absence from the lineup or a return trip to the injured list, but is at least something worth monitoring.
Wong slugs solo homer in loss to Yanks
Connor Wong slugged a solo homer on Sunday night as the Red Sox fell to the Yankees. Wong went back-to-back with teammate Rob Refsnyder off of Carlos Rodon in the fourth inning — with their solo shots accounting for the entirety of the Red Sox’ offense in the ballgame. Manager Alex Cora told reporters prior to Sunday’s game that Wong could start seeing some action at first base or second base following the club’s acquisition of Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays.
