Lugo is an option to start the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves, but he won't be stretched out if he does get the assignment, Kristie Ackert of The New York Daily News reports.
Mets manager Mickey Callaway has apparently been paying attention to what the Rays have been up to, and he's considering deploying Lugo or Robert Gsellman for an abbreviated "start" much like the ones Sergio Romo has been making. Lugo seems the more likely candidate of the two, however, as Gsellman has become a key part of the late-inning mix in front of closer Jeurys Familia, while Lugo has worked multiple innings in three of his last five appearances. If either of them does get the nod, don't expect that hurler to pitch more than 2-3 innings, making it impossible for him to pick up a win and limiting his fantasy appeal for the day.
