Polanco (knee) will start at second base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Polanco was lifted late in Sunday's 6-3 win over the White Sox with knee pain, but he apparently won't require a day out of the lineup -- or even a day out of the field -- to shake off the injury. The Mariners will hope that the knee issue won't disrupt Polanco's timing at the plate, as he's been one of the club's most productive hitters thus far in the second. Over his nine games since the All-Star break, Polanco is slashing .286/.342/.686 with four home runs and a stolen base.
