Jorge Polanco out of Mets’ lineup again with Juan Soto needing to DH

The Mets are juggling their lineup again as Jorge Polanco remains sidelined, this time making room for Juan Soto who's been placed in the designated hitter role for the past two games. This strategic move highlights the team's ongoing challenges with player availability, especially after significant offseason acquisitions. With Polanco out, the Mets are relying on Soto to fill the void, which underscores the team's need for consistency and depth in the lineup as they navigate through the season. This situation also reflects the broader issue of player health and how it impacts team performance.
