The New York Mets placed designated hitter/first baseman Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday due to a right wrist contusion.
The move is retroactive to Wednesday for Polanco, who already had been dealing with inflammation in his left Achilles since the start of the season.
The wrist injury came to light after Polanco went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday’s 2-1 road loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is batting .179 with one homer and two RBIs in 14 games this season.
Polanco, 32, signed a two-year, $40 million contract this offseason. The former All-Star is a career .262 hitter with 155 homers and 572 RBIs in 1,102 games with the Minnesota Twins (2014-23), Seattle Mariners (2024-25) and Mets.
The Mets recalled catcher Hayden Senger from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding transaction.
Senger, 29, made his major league debut with New York last season and batted .181 with four RBIs in 33 games.
