Seth Lugo

Lugo has been a quality reliever for two seasons now, and he found his way into the closer's role late last year. Edwin Diaz should have the ninth-inning role for the Mets to start, but if he struggles again, Lugo could sneak back into the job. Lugo is worth drafting for his ratios alone, but the potential for saves makes him an ideal candidate for a late-round selection.

Seth Lugo tosses scoreless inning in Spring debut

Mets pitcher struck out one and did not allow a baserunner in his Spring Training debut on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Lugo had been dealing with a fractured left pinkie toe, but it does not sound like the injury will jeopardize his availability for opening day. Lugo pitched to a 2.70 ERA and struck out 104 batters over 80 innings in 2019. He'll enter 2020 as a high leverage reliever but could once again see save opportunities if Edwin Diaz struggles as much as he did in 2019.
