Jorge Polanco’s left Achilles tendonitis continues to trouble the Mets, causing him to miss Friday’s game after recent discomfort resurfaced. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Polanco has been day-to-day, having not played first base since last Saturday, with Brett Baty filling in. Meanwhile, Mark Vientos and Jared Young have also taken turns at the position, with Mendoza praising Vientos’ progress. The Mets’ pitching staff is performing well, ranking sixth in MLB with a 3.02 ERA and second in the National League for strikeouts.
