Lugo was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday after Matt Harvey was placed on the 15-day DL with right shoulder discomfort, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo pitched two scoreless innings for the Mets in his major league debut last Friday and will now get the chance to make an impact as the fifth starter in the rotation while Harvey is out. However, the 26-year-old has a brutal 6.55 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 19 games, including 13 starts, so if his struggles transfer to the big league level he may find himself back in the minor leagues sooner rather than later.
