Lugo struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Mets manager Mickey Callaway was reluctant to use Edwin Diaz (toe) after the closer was struck by a comebacker Thursday, and Lugo has no issues getting the job done in his place. Should Diaz be dealt at the trade deadline, Lugo could well be the next man up in the ninth for the club given Jeurys Familia's season-long struggles.

Lugo (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Lugo (shoulder) is hopeful to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, though he still has to undergo more treatment and be re-evaluated to ensure he's healthy, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo was sent to the injured list May 20 due to tendinitis in his right shoulder, but he's closing in on a return to action. Assuming his evaluation goes well Friday, he should be activated from the shelf in time for the Mets' series opener with Arizona.

Lugo (shoulder) completed a 26-pitch bullpen session Wednesday and may be activated off the injured list Thursday or Friday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo was originally expected to require two bullpens plus a live batting practice session before returning, but apparently Wednesday's bullpen went well enough to shorten his return timeline. The 29-year-old landed on the 10-day IL with right shoulder tendinitis May 20, so Thursday would be the first day he is eligible to return.

Lugo (shoulder) threw off flat ground Monday and is scheduled for a bullpen session Wednesday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo landed on the 10-day injured list May 20 due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he appears to be progressing nicely in his recovery. He'll likely toss a bullpen session or two before being cleared to pitch to live hitters.

Lugo was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder tendinitis Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo had been pitching quite well, making nine consecutive scoreless innings before allowing a solo homer Sunday against the Marlins. It's unclear how much time he's expected to miss. Hector Santiago's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Lugo (2-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-6 victory over the Padres, allowing one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has given the Mets bullpen some much-needed stability in the late innings, holding the opposition off the board in nine of his last 10 appearances while producing a 1.10 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB over 16.1 innings. Lugo's been rewarded with two wins and three holds over that stretch, and he should continue to provide strong fantasy value in a setup role.
