Lugo is starting at third base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo will get back in there after sitting out Saturday. The 24-year-old seems to be the primary third baseman these days with Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) on the injured list, though the Tigers are finding playing time for the likes of Harold Castro, Ronny Rodriguez and Gordon Beckham in the infield. Lugo is slashing .245/.268/.377 with a home run and seven RBI through 18 games with the big-league club.

Lugo went 3-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After going 4-for-7 in a game back on May 25, Lugo had fallen into a 1-for-12 slump before tonight's three-hit effort. The 24-year-old is now batting .256 for the season and should continue to receive ample playing time for a rebuilding Detroit team.

EDGE Analysis
Shortly after being called up in mid-May, Lugo started five consecutive games at third base but seems to have fallen out of favor ever since. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in six contests while Brandon Dixon steps in at the hot corner.

Lugo is starting at third base and batting second in Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo batted seventh in his first two games after Thursday's promotion from Triple-A Toledo, but he will now be batting second for the second straight day. The Tigers are searching for answers on offense, so the 24-year-old could get an extended look as the No. 2 hitter, though he could also drop back down in the order if runs continue to be hard to come by and manager Ron Gardenhire decides to tinker.
