Polanco has been on the Injured List since late June dealing with shoulder issues that stem back to a major injury suffered last season.
Meanwhile, shortstop Erik Gonzalez is about to restart his rehab assignment in AAA Wednesday. Also, relief pitcher Keone Kela is slated to make another rehab appearance later in the week.
