2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lugo was acquired by the Angels from the Red Sox at the 2024 trade deadline and made his major league debut last season. Lugo took advantage of the relocation from an overcrowded prospect chart in Boston to the exact opposite situation in Anaheim to reach the big leagues after production and injuries to the active roster opened up opportunities for him. Lugo did something that is hard to do in that he failed to earn even a single walk in 70 major league plate appearances. That stat alone should provide you all the knowledge you need about how to proceed with him, but perhaps his 29.4% strikeout rate in Triple-A Salt Lake City would also scare you. Lugo is only draft-and-hold and mono-league material in the late rounds until one of his skills clicks in , but earning his first major league walk needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Signed a one-year contract with the Angels in March of 2025.
Moved down to minors
The Angels optioned Lugo to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Analysis
Lugo had been struggling to garner playing time, starting in just one of the Angels' previous seven contests prior to being sent down. He's posted a .707 OPS with four homers, nine RBI and nine runs over 70 plate appearances in the majors this season but has a 0:24 BB:K. Lugo's return to the minors made room for infielder Christian Moore to rejoin the 26-man roster.

Stat Review
How does Matthew Lugo compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening to make roster?
Per Sam Blum of The Athletic, Lugo may have a chance to make the Angels' Opening Day roster after the club released Mickey Moniak on Tuesday.
Analysis
Lugo is one of the organization's top prospects and didn't seem to have a realistic chance of breaking camp with the big-league club, but the departure of a veteran leaves the team without a clear fourth outfielder. The Angels haven't been shy about promoting their top prospects in recent years, but the 23-year-old wouldn't necessarily have a clear path to immediate playing time with Taylor Ward, Jo Adell and Mike Trout positioned for starting jobs.
