Seth Lugo "on Track" to Start on Friday Night
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Seth Lugo (head) is "on track" to make the start in his team's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Lugo is currently on the 7-day concussion injured list after being struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo during his most recent start on June 10. It's a great sign for everyone involved that Lugo appears to have avoided a more significant injury after the scary scene. Across 79 1/3 innings (14 starts) in 2026, Lugo has recorded a 2-4 record with a 3.86 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts. The 36-year-old's fantasy upside is limited by his 19.8% strikeout rate, but he remains a savvy innings-eater who carries deep-league and streamer appeal in the right matchups.
