Seth Lugo Scheduled To Make Debut Monday
5 years agoNew York Mets relief pitcher Seth Lugo (toe) is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Monday against the Miami Marlins. Lugo has worked his way back from a fractured left pinkie toe suffered earlier this spring. Based on the progress he has made since the injury, it appears Lugo will be ready to go by Opening Day, barring any setbacks. Lugo is expected to serve in a setup role to closer Edwin Diaz in 2020. As a setup man, Lugo does not have much appeal in leagues that do not reward holds unless Diaz gets injured or is removed from the closer role. Even then, however, save opportunities are not a given for Lugo. Dellin Betances could be next in line, ahead of Lugo, as the Mets closer.
