Seth Lugo of Kansas City Royals Out with Right Middle Finger Inflammation, Expected Return in Late May

Seth Lugo is currently on the 15-day injured list due to right middle finger inflammation. He has pitched in nine games this season, recording a 3-4 win-loss record. His ERA is 3.02, and he has struck out 42 batters over 56 2/3 innings.

With Lugo out, the Royals will rely more on their remaining rotation. Michael Wacha, Kris Bubic, and Michael Lorenzen will likely see increased workloads in Lugo's absence. The team hopes to have him back by late May to continue his solid performance.
