Lugo is expected to be recalled from Triple-A in advance of Thursday's game against the Cubs, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo hasn't exactly set the world on fire at Triple-A this season, amassing a 7.86 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 appearances (13 starts). Still, he'll bring depth to the Mets' bullpen and is expected to take the spot of Sean Gilmartin, who will head back to Las Vegas. Gilmartin's struggles have been well-documented, having allowed 11 hits and seven earned runs across five appearances for the Mets this season.
