Padres manager Bob Melvin confirmed Monday that Lugo (calf) will return from the injured list Tuesday to start in San Francisco, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo hasn't pitched in a game in over a month, so he'll likely be on some sort of a pitch count, though Melvin indicated that the hurler's limit has yet to be decided. The right-hander's return was foreshadowed when San Diego optioned Ryan Weathers -- who had been filling Lugo's spot in the rotation -- to Triple-A El Paso on Friday. Lugo has posted a 4.10 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB over 41.2 innings across eight starts this season.
