In a surprise move, the New York Mets have opted to send infielder Jorge Polanco to the Triple-A Syracuse, putting his potential return to the major league team on hold. The decision to send Polanco to the minors comes as a surprise, given his experience and skills, which were expected to be a valuable asset to the Mets' roster. Instead, Polanco will spend the weekend building his "volume" in Syracuse, a phrase that suggests he needs to accumulate more playing time and at-bats to regain his form. The move raises questions about Polanco's future with the Mets and what it means for the team's infield dynamics in the coming weeks.


Jorge Polanco will spend at least this weekend building “volume” at Triple-A Syracuse rather than rejoining the Mets.
