Seth Lugo of Kansas City Royals Placed on 15-Day IL Due to Right Middle Finger Inflammation

Seth Lugo's injury means he will miss the upcoming game against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 17. This season, Lugo has pitched in nine games with a 3-4 record and an ERA of 3.02. His absence may impact the rotation, with Cole Ragans and Michael Wacha as potential replacements.

Before this injury, Lugo was on a streak of scoring 28 or more FanDuel points in five straight games. His performance at home has been strong, with an ERA of 2.65 and a 2-2 record. The Royals will need to adjust their strategy without him on the mound.
