BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – New York Mets first baseman Jorge Polanco will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday against the Portland Sea Dogs at Mirabito Stadium.

Polanco signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets on December 16, 2025. He is currently in his 13th season in the major leagues. Polanco has played in 1,102 regular-season games in his career and has produced a .262 AVG, .328 OBP, .768 OPS, 155 HR, 572 RBI, 225 2B, and 400 XBH in the majors.
He spent the first 10 seasons of his MLB career with the Minnesota Twins (2014-23) and the last two seasons with the Seattle Mariners (2024-25). Polanco made his major league debut for the Twins on June 26, 2014.
Polanco was an American League All-Star with the Twins in 2019. He produced a .264 AVG with an .821 OPS, 26 HR, 78 RBI, 125 H, and 56 XBH for the Mariners last season and hit three home runs with eight runs batted in across 12 postseason games to help lead the Mariners to the 2025 American League Championship Series.
