EDGE Analysis

New York optioned Sean Reid-Foley to Triple-A Syracuse to open up a spot in the bullpen for Lugo, who was one of three Mets to return from the IL for Monday's series opener. Lugo finished last season in a starting role for the Mets, but he'll likely serve as a late-inning, multi-inning option in 2021 now that he's made a recovery from February surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow. Over his four rehab outings at Triple-A prior to being activated, Lugo gave up three runs (one earned) while striking out five in 4.1 innings.

Lugo has been on the injured list since the start of the season. He was already tracking toward a late-May return, so his shift to the 60-day IL doesn't necessarily mean that he's experienced a setback. The right-hander will now be out until at least early June, and his removal from the 40-man roster will make room for outfielder Johneshwy Fargas, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move. Lugo will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis
