Mets' Seth Lugo: Not an option for bullpen spot
Lugo is not being considered for a bullpen spot to begin the season if he doesn't win the fifth starter job, as the Mets want to keep him stretched out, The New York Daily News reports.
Analysis:
If Lugo isn't able to beat out Robert Gsellman for the opening in the rotation to begin the season, he'll head back to Triple-A instead. Given the difficulty the rest of the Mets' rotation had staying healthy last season, any demotion might be very temporary, but with Gsellman considered the favorite to win the battle, Lugo is probably best left to the reserve rounds in most fantasy formats for now.
