Syracuse Mets ยท First Base
At 32 years old, Polanco carries significant injury and decline risk entering 2026 after a respectable 2025 campaign that showcased 26 home runs and 78 RBI. His early season numbers are alarming, however, as he's hitting just .179 through 56 at-bats with minimal production across all major categories, signaling either a slow start or potential durability concerns typical of aging players. Fantasy managers should exercise extreme caution and monitor his health closely before committing draft capital, as the gap between his 2025 performance and current output suggests deeper problems than a typical cold streak. If Polanco can recapture even 70-75% of his 2025 form, he offers moderate power potential, but the current trajectory indicates he's a risky proposition better left on the waiver wire until he proves he can get right.
