Lugo is expected to compete with Jeimer Candelario for the everyday third-base job, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo likely has an early leg up on Candelario, as the 25-year-old finished the 2019 season as Detroit's primary option at the hot corner. Neither Lugo nor Candelario impressed during his time with the Tigers last season, however, leaving the door open for either one to seize control of the starting job.

Lugo is not starting in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has taken over as the team's primary third baseman, and he's batted .297 over his past 10 games, but he'll take a seat for the 2019 finale with Ronny Rodriguez starting at the hot corner. Heading into 2020, Lugo looks like he'll be an Opening Day starter, though that depends on what the Tigers do in the offseason to replenish their roster.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo had a third of Detroit's hits as he continued a recent hot streak. Over his past three games, the 24-year-old has gone 8-for-12, pushing his season average up to .252. Lugo will look to finish strong over the final six games of the season and carry some momentum into 2020.

Lugo went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo came in batting just .132 over his previous 10 games, so it was nice to see him string together a few hits. The 24-year-old is slashing just .232/.261/.370 this season with six home runs and 25 RBI, but unless the Tigers bring in someone new this offseason, Lugo figures to open 2020 as the team's primary option at third base.

Lugo is not starting Friday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo owns a poor .132/.190/.316 slash line over his last 10 games, though he does at least have two homers over that stretch. Ronny Rodriguez starts at third base Friday.

Lugo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo hit his sixth home run of the season and third this month. The 24-year-old has mostly struggled this year with a .238/.268/.381 slash line, though the rebuilding Tigers have been patient with Lugo and given him plenty of playing time recently.

Lugo is not starting Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo will head to the bench for the second half of Thursday's twin bill after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer in Game 1. Jeimer Candelario is covering third base in his place in Game 2.

Lugo went 3-for-5 with a two-RBI single and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Lugo's two-run single in the eighth provided the Tigers with the tying run. In the 11th, Lugo got aboard with a single and came around to score the go-ahead run on a Willi Castro double. Lugo has hit safely in five of six games in September, going 8-for-24 with four RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the year, the third baseman is hitting .246/.271/.374 with four homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs scored across 203 at-bats.

Lugo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo is getting regular playing time at third base, and while his .237/.263/.369 slash line for the year is nothing impressive, the 24-year-old has been better lately. Over his past 14 games, Lugo is batting .321 with three home runs. He should continue to get a look with the rebuilding Tigers the rest of this season.

Lugo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has just three home runs this season in 167 at-bats, though two of them have come in his last four games. The 24-year-old figures to get plenty of run the rest of the way for the rebuilding Tigers despite his middling .228/.258/.347 slash line.
