Polanco (knee) will start at second base and bat fifth Saturday against the Phillies.
Polanco was forced to sit out Friday's series opener after exiting Wednesday's game due to a knee injury, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 31-year-old infielder has put up a career-worst batting average (.210) and OPS (.644) through 289 plate appearances this season, but he's begun to heat up lately, slashing .273/.340/.682 with five homers and nine RBI since the All-Star break.
