Outfielder Gregory Polanco once again finds himself on the injured list. The Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder started the season on the IL after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. After playing in 42 games, he finds himself back on the IL.
Due to shoulder inflammation, Polanco has been placed on the 10-day IL retroactive to June 19th.
Polanco returned to action in late April. His return came sooner than was initially expected after he underwent his surgery. So, it is definitely possible that he rushed back from his surgery and that this contributed to his struggles this season.
