Polanco went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco got the Mariners on the board early with a solo home run off Luis Gil in the second inning. The home run was just his second extra-base hit and sixth hit overall in 53 plate appearance since Aug. 30, a span during which he's hit just .128. Polanco is having by far the least productive campaign of his career, slashing just .203/.292/.346 with 15 homers, 40 RBI, 41 runs, four steals and a 44:129 BB:K in 428 plate appearances.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco got in on the fun of the Mariners' 13-hit barrage with a fifth-inning shot off Steven Matz with Justin Turner aboard, extending Seattle's lead to 9-2 at the time. Polanco snapped a nine-game homer drought with the round tripper, which was also just his second hit in the last eight contests. The 31-year-old notably went down on strikes in his other three plate appearances Sunday, pushing his strikeout rate to a career-worst 30.6 percent and highlighting one of the primary culprits behind his career-low .204 average, .296 OBP and .643 OPS.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Rays on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco uncorked a 341-foot laser to right field in the second inning to answer a Josh Lowe homer for the Rays in the visitor half of the frame. Polanco's round tripper snapped an eight-game home-run drought, and he's now just four away from putting together his best season in that department since his outlier 33-homer campaign for the Twins in 2021.

Polanco went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco got it done with some classic small ball Saturday, showing some solid plate discipline and recording a rare steal during one of his trips on the basepaths. The veteran has progressively crawled out of a deep hole at the plate over the course of the second half of the season, with Saturday's production pushing his post-All-Star-break slash line to an impressive .269/.358/.529 across 120 plate appearances. Despite the quiet night from a power perspective Saturday, Polanco has also shown some welcome pop during that span, knocking 13 of his 28 hits for extra bases while driving in 18 runs.

Polanco went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco drove in all three runs for the Mariners. Tuesday marked just the third time this season he's had three RBI in a game, but he now has three multi-hit efforts over his last eight games and is batting .357 over that span. It's still been a sluggish year overall for the 30-year-old, who's now slashing .221/.306/.368 with 12 homers, 36 RBI, 34 runs, three steals and a 35:108 BB:K in 346 plate appearances.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco uncorked his 12th home run of the season in the ninth inning with the bases empty to give Seattle a brief ray of hope in what was ultimately a two-run loss. The veteran has now left the yard in two of the last four games and reached safely in each contest during that span, a brief reprieve from his season-long struggles.
