Seth Lugo Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Right Middle Finger Inflammation, Expected Return in Mid-June

Seth Lugo's absence impacts the Kansas City Royals' pitching rotation. Lugo has started nine games this season, recording a 3-4 record with a 3.02 ERA. His consistency is highlighted by scoring 28+ FanDuel points in five consecutive games, making his return awaited by the team and fans alike.

The Royals face the Detroit Tigers next, which marks a challenge without Lugo's presence. His ability to maintain a low WHIP of 1.09 this season shows his effectiveness on the mound. The team will look to their other pitchers to fill in until Lugo is back by mid-June.
