New York Mets reliever RHP Seth Lugo (Credits to MetsMerizedOnline.com) The New York Mets announced today that RHP Seth Lugo has a loose bone in his right elbow and will have surgery on Tuesday. Lugo has inflamamation in his elbow that wouldn't let up and informed the Mets medical staff that a bone spur had broken off. He had an MRI yesterday. Lugo won't be able to throw for six weeks before he is assessed and transtions into a throwing program. Not having Lugo is a big loss to the entire pitching staff and bullpen. He has shown to be the team's most reliable reliver in the last few years and also filled in as a spot starter on occassion. Lugo excelled out of the bullpen in 2019 with a 2.70 ERA, 11.70 K/9 and 1.80 BB/9 in 61 games. Hopefully he won't be out too long and he can get back to his dominant self late in games.
