Impact Lugo was on top of his game Saturday, allowing just four hits while striking out eight batters and walking two. More importantly, he set season highs with 81 pitches and five innings, which allowed him to stay in the game long enough to qualify for the win. Lugo said he was "not even worried about" the injury when asked, so he should avoid missing any time. His pitch count has steadily increased since the Mets moved him to the rotation, and he should be able to tack on a few more his next time out.

Impact The Mets let Lugo throw 60 pitches Sunday, going well past his previous season-high of 39 pitches in his last outing. The lone run he allowed came from a solo shot by Tyler Wade in the third inning. Assuming he stays in the rotation, Lugo should face the Phillies at home next weekend.

Three perfect innings Lugo struck out five across three perfect innings but did not factor in the decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Marlins.

Impact Lugo did well as well as anyone could hope in his first start of 2020. The 30-year-old, who hadn't started a game since 2018, lowered his ERA to 2.03 with a 0.75 WHIP and 16 strikeouts across 13.1 innings this season. It was his 10th appearance overall, but Lugo is expected to stick in the rotation going forward. His next start lines up for Sept. 2 in Baltimore.

Starting Game 2 Lugo is starting Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact This will technically be a bullpen game, but with the Mets having to play nine games over the next six days, the Mets would obviously like Lugo to go as deep as possible in this outing. He has a 2.61 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10.1 innings.

Start vs. Marlins postponed Lugo's scheduled start against the Marlins on Thursday was postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Lugo's first start of the season will have to wait, as the Mets reportedly have a pair of positive COVID-19 cases, resulting in the postponement of Thursday's series finale. It remains to be seen how the Mets will adjust their rotation moving forward.

Mets' Lugo gets wish, moving to rotation to replace Matz

Right-hander Seth Lugo, who leads the New York Mets with three saves, will move into their rotation starting Thursday against Miami to replace struggling left-hander Steven Matz

AUGUST 20, 2020 • Associated Press

Entering rotation Thursday Lugo will start Thursday's game against the Marlins and remain in the starting rotation going forward, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 30-year-old appeared to have a solid hold on the closer's role with a 2.61 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings while converting three of five save opportunities, but he'll now shift into Steven Matz's spot in the rotation. Lugo has operated as a multi-inning reliever all season, but he hasn't reached the 20-pitch mark since July 27, so it figures to take some time before he gets fully stretched out for a starter's workload. The Mets haven't announced their plans for the back end of the bullpen, but Edwin Diaz is the likely candidate to operate as the closer, since he's bounced back with a 2.53 ERA this season.

Is it time for the Mets to move Seth Lugo from closer to starter? “His versatility can help us to do some things different in the future. We'll see…. It's something to think about," Luis Rojas said.
