Seth Lugo Has A UCL Tear in elbow

Earlier today, it was announced that New York Mets RHP Seth Lugo has a slight tear on the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) on his right elbow. Lugo will not need to have surgery, but he has gotten a PRP injection in his elbow and has been advised to rest his arm. While pitching in the World Baseball Classic in March for Puerto Rico, Lugo felt arm fatigue after one of his starts. He threw a total of 26.1 innings between Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic. This is unfortunate but fortunately the Mets have other starters to fill in during Lugo's absence, such as RHP Rafael Montero.
