Seth Lugo Back On A Mound Saturday
5 years agoNew York Mets pitcher Seth Lugo (pinkie) returned to the mound on Saturday and threw a bullpen session five days after breaking his pinkie toe in an accident in his hotel room. It's obviously not a very serious injury and Lugo should be ready to go by Opening Day. The 30-year-old right-hander is extremely valuable to the Mets in either a starting or relief role. Lugo is expected to begin the year in a setup role to closer Edwin Diaz alongside newcomer Dellin Betances. Unfortunately, Lugo doesn't have much appeal in fantasy leagues if he's a reliever unless Diaz misses time with an injury or is demoted from the closer's role. And even then, Betances may be the next guy in line for save chances.
