Lugo (5-4) took the loss in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo matched zeroes on the scoreboard with Brad Peacock through five, but he unraveled in the sixth, allowing four batters to reach base without recording an out. The right-hander has pitched reasonably well this year for a guy with a partially torn UCL, but he's not moving the needle for anyone in mixed leagues. He lines up to face the Reds in his next scheduled start.

Lugo gave up two earned runs on four hits through 3.2 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Sunday. Washington eventually prevailed 5-4.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo fared fairly well against the high-powered Nats in his first start back from a shoulder injury, tossing 51-of-70 pitches for strikes. The sophomore's record remains at 5-3 to go with a 57:20 K:BB in 72.1 innings this year, and he's next scheduled to toe the rubber Saturday in Houston -- though that could change given the flooding crisis there.

Lugo (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list and is starting Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

As planned, Lugo was brought off the DL and is ready to start Sunday night. Lugo has started two games against the Nationals over the course of the 2017 campaign, and he's had a tough time in each outing. Between the two games he's allowed 10 runs (9 earned) over 11.2 innings and collected two losses.

Lugo (shoulder) was named the starter for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Washington, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo successfully threw a bullpen session Friday and will be ready to face the high-powered Nationals on Sunday. Lugo, who's last start came on Aug. 11 against the Phillies, will carry a 4.85 ERA and 1.41 WHIP into Sunday's contest.

Lugo (shoulder) is in line to be the starter for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Washington, Mike Puma of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is expected to throw a bullpen session Friday, which will provide more clarity to the situation ahead of Sunday's twin-bill. Lugo was placed on the disabled list just over a week ago due to right shoulder impingement, but it appears as though he's recovering fast from the setback, which originally appeared to warrant an extended stay on the DL. Although Lugo may be unable to return for Sunday's game, the 27-year-old will likely be back on the mound no latter than next weekend.

Manager Terry Collins indicated that Lugo (shoulder) was scheduled to begin a throwing program Wednesday, Chris Bumbaca of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Lugo, who hit the disabled list last week with the right shoulder impingement was actually able to complete what Collins labeled a "touch-and-feel" session, but more word on Lugo's condition should be available before the weekend. If Lugo did indeed throw Wednesday without discomfort, he could begin throwing off a mound as soon as Friday. The Mets have yet to announce if Lugo will require a rehab assignment before being activated from the DL.

Lugo was placed on the DL with a right shoulder impingement, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

This obviously means he will not make his scheduled start Wednesday, and it sounds like he could end up missing at least several turns in the rotation as a result of this injury. Robert Gsellman will be recalled to take Lugo's spot in the rotation.

Lugo (6-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings, but received no decision Friday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, and despite a rough start, he received enough run support to leave the game with a lead before the bullpen failed to hang on. He's allowed 13 runs over his last 16 innings over three starts to raise his ERA from 4.10 to 4.85 and he's been trending downward lately. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Yankees.

Lugo (5-3) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo held the Dodgers scoreless until giving up a pair of homers in the sixth inning, and in the process, he blew a three-run lead to keep him from potentially earning his sixth victory of the campaign. He's failed to log a quality start in any of his past three outings to raise his ERA from 4.05 to 4.55, and he's been an inconsistent fantasy option this year. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Phillies.

Lugo (5-3) allowed five runs on eight hits while striking out five without a walk in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo did well to settle down after allowing five runs in the first two innings, but never came close to getting off the hook in what ended as a 9-1 defeat. While he hasn't issued a walk in either of his past two starts, Lugo has also allowed two home runs in each of those games after limiting opponents to a total of four long balls in his first eight starts. Keeping the ball in the park won't be easy in his next start Saturday with the explosive Dodgers lineup in town.
