Lugo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

It was just the second home run of the season for Lugo, who hasn't flashed much pop with his .588 OPS this year. The 24-year-old at least should keep getting regular run at third base with Jeimer Candelario currently at Triple-A Toledo, though Lugo hasn't done much to warrant fantasy attention.

Lugo is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo started the last 17 games for the Tigers, but he'll head to the bench Friday after posting a .457 OPS in that stretch. Ronny Rodriguez enters the lineup at the hot corner in his absence, batting seventh.

Lugo went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo struck early in this one, knocking in a pair of runs in the first inning on a single to right center. He was an unlikely source of production Friday evening, as though 38 games in the majors this season, he's hitting .238 with four extra-base hits and 10 RBI.

The Tigers recalled Lugo from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the White Sox. He'll enter the lineup at third base and as Detroit's No. 5 hitter in the first game of the twin bill.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has split time at both third and second base during his time with the Tigers and Toledo this season, but he projects to see most of his action at the hot corner during his upcoming stint in the big leagues after Jeimer Candelario (thumb) landed on the 10-day injured list. Along with Lugo, utility man Harold Castro will be a candidate to fill Candelario's spot in the everyday lineup. Over his 28 games with Detroit earlier this season, Lugo slashed an unremarkable .207/.233/.317 with a home run and seven RBI across 86 plate appearances.

Lugo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's loss the the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo received five straight starts at third base in mid-June but was held out of the lineup three of the last four contests. The 24-year-old never found his footing in the majors with a .207/.233/.317 slash line in 86 plate appearances.

Lugo isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo will head to the bench after failing to collect a base knock over his last two contests (0-for-6). Brandon Dixon draws the start at third base and is set to bat fifth with Lugo out of the mix.

Lugo should remain the Tigers' primary third baseman after Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has only found moderate success at the plate, as he's slashing .232/.250/.362 with one home run over 22 games, but Candelario was struggling more, with a .179 average and 28.2 percent strikeout rate prior to his injury. With the rebuilding Tigers sitting at 25-41, the 24-year-old Lugo should get a long look at third base to see if he figures into the team's future plans.
