Lugo will make his return and make the start on the road on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. He will not be a recommended fantasy streamer against the streaking Giants, mainly because he hasn't pitched in the big leagues since May 16 and didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Expect Lugo's pitch ...

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team leaguesROSTERED IN: 38% of leaguesANALYSIS: I've written him up before, but people just aren't picking Lugo up. I get that, there's not a ton of upside with him as a veteran pitcher, and it makes sense that fantasy managers would flock to the young prospects. But chances are, Lugo is going to outdo a bunch of those rookies as we move forward. He's a solid pitcher, and he's pitching well as a starter for the Padres this year. He has a 22% K%, which is mediocre, but he does ...

Lugo stifled the Rockies lineup in his first start since 2020, allowing just four hits and striking out seven while not walking a batter. Lugo was efficient as well, needing just 93 pitches. If Lugo, who has been a great reliever for many years, can keep his effectiveness while starting games, he will be a great fantasy option while pitching for a very good Padres ...

The San Diego Padres were set to open spring training with five starters -- Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell, Nick Martinez and Seth Lugo -- but they had a desire to use a six-man rotation after it was successful in the early stages of 2022.
