Seth Lugo Remains On Schedule For May Return
4 years agoNew York Mets reliever Seth Lugo (elbow) reportedly remains on track for a return from the injured list sometime in mid-May. Heading into 2021, Lugo was projected to primarily work out of the bullpen where he has become one of the elite set-up men in baseball. Once he returns from the injured list, Lugo should work with Trevor May, who has struggled to begin the season, to handle late-inning work as a bridge to get to closer Edwin Diaz. Lugo will be a huge boost to the Mets' beleaguered bullpen. He will be in line to put up elite ratios and strikeouts, to go with a large number of holds, and perhaps some saves if Diaz struggles. Managers in leagues that reward holds should have Lugo squarely on their radar if he is available on the waiver wire.
