Lugo will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove a loose body from his right elbow, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo will be shut down for six weeks before he transitions to a throwing program. He'll miss the start of spring training as a result, and he could be sidelined to begin the regular season as well. Once he's fully healthy, the right-hander could take on a high-leverage relief role for the Mets in 2021.
