Despite the San Diego Padres slow start, one of the players that was doing well early in the season was Seth Lugo. The 33-year-old went six or more innings in five of his first seven outings, posting a 3.18 ERA in that span of time.
But then on May 16 after allowing five earned runs in two innings to the Kansas City Royals, he hurt his calf running over to cover first base. Lugo was put on the 15-day Injured List on May 18 and hasn’t pitched since. That should change this week though, as he’s expected to start game two of the Padres four-game set in San Francisco tomorrow night.
