The Mets will reportedly be placing right-hander Seth Lugo on the disabled list to start the year, Newsday’s Marc Carig has learned. The move comes after the team had Lugo undergo an MRI on his right arm earlier. The tests came back clean, and thankfully, revealed no structural damage.
Manager Terry Collins said earlier in the week that Lugo had been experiencing fatigue from a heavier than expected workload early on in the spring. Lugo was a huge part of Puerto Rico’s run in the World Baseball Classic in March that saw the team make it to the Championship game.
