MIAMI -- 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.
Matz, who is 0-4 with an ERA of 9.00, will move to the bullpen, and Edwin Diaz will become the closer.
Manager Luis Rojas decided to make the switch before Wednesday's game against Miami.
"Seth has been a starter for us in the past," Rojas said. "He's a guy who is ready for any kind of challenge with his versatility.
