For the third time in less than a calendar year, Jorge Polanco has received an emergency call-up to the big leagues.
Each time, the Twins' Double-A shortstop prospect said, he feels a little more prepared.
"The first time when they call you, you get too excited and too emotional," said Polanco, 21. "Now I can handle it better."
Given the start at shortstop for Wednesday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals, Polanco will bat ninth.
Outfielder Eddie Rosario is due back Friday in Texas after taking paternity leave, and the plan going in was for Polanco to rejoin the Chattanooga club after his latest cameo.
