Lugo returns to the big leagues with Nolan Schanuel hitting the shelf with a left wrist bruise. The 24-year-old has torn the cover off the ball at the Triple-A level this season. He batted .238 (10-for-42) with three homers and six RBI in 17 games earlier this season in his first exposure to the big leagues.

The 24-year-old is hitting .353/.396/.625 in July with four home runs, 14 RBI, and four steals. He is making a case to get another crack at MLB at-bats and should get an opportunity, especially if the Angels deal one or both of Taylor Ward and Jo Adell at the deadline.

Lugo was sent down Thursday after going 9-for-40 with three homers and a 15/0 K/BB in his first MLB stint. He’ll see some outfield time until Mike Trout is ready to return to right field, but he’ll probably mostly serve as a defensive replacement for Jorge Soler.

The 24-year-old outfielder did a decent job in his time with the Halos, slashing .231/.250/.564 with three homers, six RBI and a 15/0 K/BB ratio across 40 plate appearances. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until he’s needed once again.

It’ll be Kyren Paris making just his second start in the last six games on Tuesday night in his place. Lugo has been an unexpected revelation this season, hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three homers in 10 games since coming up earlier this month from Triple-A Salt Lake. It’s an extremely small sample size, and he’s going to cool off at some point, but there’s some intrigue here for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

Lugo hit an RBI double in the first inning, and connected on a solo blast in the ninth. He’s gone deep three times in just seven appearances with the Angels, and .381/.409/1.000 slash. That’s not sustainable for anyone, and it’s especially not sustainable for Matthew Lugo. All that being said, he’s earned more playing time — or that should be the case, anyway — with his hot run.
