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

Seth Lugo has been consistent this season with an ERA of 3.02 over 56 2/3 innings. He has started in nine games, winning three and losing four. His absence could affect the Royals' upcoming game against the San Francisco Giants on May 19, 2025.

With Lugo out, the Royals' starting rotation will lean more on Michael Wacha and Kris Bubic. Lugo had scored 28+ FanDuel points in five straight games. This injury interrupts his current streak and impacts the team's depth chart.
