Lugo gave up three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Phillies on Thursday. He struck out four and received no decision in the eventual 11-inning victory.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has largely been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners who plucked him off the wire upon his entry into the Mets' rotation, but his peripherals have been screaming "regression" all along. That's been coming for him gradually -- Lugo's started giving up regular homers lately (including two Thursday) after doing a great job keeping the ball in the yard early on, and he's now lasted only five frames in two straight starts. The rookie will likely end up with solid ratios in a small sample anyway, as Tuesday's start against Miami will be his final regular-season rotation turn.
