Yankees have checked in on Jorge Polanco in search for infield help
NY Post
The Yankees’ ongoing search for infield help appears to be thorough and includes an interesting bounce-back candidate.
As they sort through options following the departure of Gleyber Torres, the Yankees have checked in on 11-year pro Jorge Polanco, a source said.
The club could use a second baseman or third baseman, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. able to man the other spot, and Polanco can play either position when healthy — which he is expected to be in time for the season.
After a down 2024 campaign, Polanco underwent left knee surgery in early October and now is taking ground balls (at second, third and first base) as well as hitting.
He remains on target to be ready for spring training, the source said, where he can hope to begin to show that 2024 was an injury-addled aberration.
Polanco had struggled through knee pain for several years and generally played through it while performing, posting a .796 OPS from 2021-23 with the Twins.
