Polanco displayed concussion symptoms after he was hit in the head by a pitch on August 16, but he managed to return as soon as he was eligible. The 37-year-old is batting just .253/.308/.292 with one home run and 21 RBI in 91 games this year.

Placido Polanco went 3-for-5 with three RBI in the win over the Braves on Wednesday. Polanco entered with just 12 RBI on the season. It was his first three-RBI game since he had a grand slam on June 10, 2011. Polanco has been playing less recently with Ed Lucas and Donovan Solano both on the roster. He's a candidate to be traded if any contenders come calling later this month.

Polanco is still batting just .237/.297/.270 for the season, but if he can manage to stay healthy, a contender might view him as a decent bench option next month.

Placido Polanco went 1-for-8 with a run scored in his return to the lineup Saturday. Polanco made his lone hit count, as he had a one-out single in the 20th inning before scoring the winning run in the marathon victory over the Mets. He had been out the last few games due to the flu.
