Jorge Polanco went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 5-3 defeat to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the solo shot adding some sparkle to his stat line, Polanco's season continues to be a struggle with a mere .183 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 32.3%. His power numbers are modest with five homers, but the lack of consistent contact and on-base skills (.292 wOBA) limits his fantasy appeal. Owners should view Polanco as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a potential matchup-based option, given his current form and underlying metrics.
