Dawel Lugo News
Detroit Tigers third baseman Dawel Lugo is being held out of Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves with a tight back. His absence is only precautionary, so the injury doesn't appear to be serious. Lugo is currently behind Jeimer Candelario on the depth chart. As it currently stands, Lugo is off the fantasy radar in most mixed leagues. The 25-year-old hit .245/.271/.381 with six homers and 26 RBI in 273 at-bats for Detroit last year.
Detroit Tigers infielders Gordon Beckham and Dawel Lugo are not in the lineup Friday as the team prepares for a weekend series against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Miguel Cabrera is playing first base, Josh Harrison returns to the lineup playing second base, and regulars Niko Goodrum and Ronny Rodriguez round out the infield. The Mets are starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard. Though Syndergaard has struggled this season, he remains dangerous, and Detroit's lineup is poor as well. Additionally, Citi Field is historically one of the worst parks in baseball for hitters. It all adds up to a fade of the entire Tigers roster for DFS purposes.
Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, opening a door for Dawel Lugo to join the big club after a fine start with the Mud Hens. Lugo will make the start at third base on Thursday, batting seventh against Chris Bassitt and the A's. Lugo has hit .341/.393/.468 across 132 AB in the minors this season and hit .213 with a home run in 94 AB last season with the Tigers.
