Los Angeles Angels AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lugo probably won't win a job in spring training, but he could be an option early in the season if the team needs outfield reinforcements due to injuries or poor performance. A former Red Sox prospect, Lugo was sent to the Angels at the 2024 trade deadline as part of the package that netted Boston reliever Luis Garcia. A bat-first left-field prospect, Lugo slashed .287/.376/.578 with 17 home runs, 16 steals and a 23.3 percent strikeout rate in 79 games, primarily split between Boston's Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury in his first game at Triple-A after the trade and was added to the 40-man roster during the offseason. He is an average runner with average raw power, so Lugo doesn't have a very high ceiling, but he's big-league ready and could hit enough to be an everyday left fielder. Lugo, who turns 24 in May and bats right-handed, is a former infielder and it's possible the Angels will try him out as a super-utility player if he is still passable at third base or second base.
