He returned to the lineup on May 20 in New York but left Sunday&#8217;s game in Washington early after feeling the hamstring tighten up again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t anticipate a lengthy absence,&#8221; general manager Justin Hollander said at the time of the injury. &#8220;We feel it&#8217;s fairly mild.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Polanco had multiple stints on the injured list with the Minnesota Twins last season due to a left hamstring strain. The Mariners did consider placing the second baseman on the IL earlier in May but held off hoping he would return sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we&#8217;re being honest, it&#8217;s probably my fault we didn&#8217;t put him on the IL to begin with,&#8221; Hollander said. &#8220;We had hoped to get him back within the 10-day period, and we did, just barely. Obviously having him in the lineup, especially when you&#8217;re going East in those ballparks is very valuable. And he wanted to be out there and we were making progress, so let it drift probably too long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Mariners <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/01\/29\/jorge-polanco-traded-mariners\/\" target=\"_self\">acquired the switch-hitting veteran<\/a> from the Twins in exchange for four players and cash in January. Polanco is due $10.5 million this season, after the Twins exercised a club option, with a $12 million club option against a $750,000 buyout for 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo: \u00a9 Stephen Brashear-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seattle Mariners have activated Jorge Polanco from the 10-day injured list Monday.
