Jorge Polanco's Rehab Assignment Stopped Due to Recurring Ankle Injury
Jorge Polanco 因腳踝傷勢復發而停止復健計畫
Introduction
The New York Mets have ended the minor league rehabilitation process for infielder Jorge Polanco after he experienced a return of ankle soreness.
紐約大都會隊已終止內野手 Jorge Polanco 的小聯盟復健程序，因為他的腳踝 soreness 復發。
Main Body
Polanco's rehabilitation stopped on Saturday, and he must now return to New York for further medical exams. This setback happened after he played several games for the Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse teams to regain his form. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized that Polanco needed to complete four at-bats as a designated hitter and at least seven defensive innings before returning to the main team. However, he did not meet these goals because of Achilles bursitis, a condition he has dealt with since late March.
Polanco 在週六停止了復健，現在必須返回紐約接受進一步的醫療檢查。在他為 Double-A Binghamton 和 Triple-A Syracuse 隊出賽幾場以找回狀態後，發生了這次挫折。總教練 Carlos Mendoza 強調，Polanco 在返回大隊前，需要作為指定擊球手完成四次打擊，以及至少七個防守局。然而，由於他自三月下旬以來一直困擾的跟腱黏液囊炎，導致他未能達成這些目標。
Polanco has faced several health problems since joining the organization. After signing a two-year, $40 million contract to be the main first baseman, his playing time was limited by the ankle issue and a right wrist injury. Consequently, he was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 18. Before this, his performance was low, with a .179 batting average over 14 games. Furthermore, the Mets have released left-handed pitcher Anderson Severino while the team continues to struggle with a 28-36 record.
Polanco 自加入球隊以來面臨了多項健康問題。在簽下的一份兩年 4,000 萬美元、旨在擔任主先鋒一壘手的合約後，他的出賽時間因腳踝問題和右手腕受傷而受限。因此，他在 4 月 18 日被列入 10 日傷兵名單。在此之前，他的表現低迷，在 14 場比賽中的打擊率僅為 .179。此外，在大都會隊以 28 勝 36 敗持續掙扎之際，球隊也解雇了左投手 Anderson Severino。
Conclusion
Jorge Polanco will remain out of action until his medical results are clear, while the Mets continue to face a difficult season.
在醫療結果明確之前，Jorge Polanco 將繼續缺陣，而大都會隊則繼續面對一個艱難的賽季。
