The latest Zach Lutz MLB and fantasy baseball news
Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:56:50 -0700 The New York Mets have optioned 3B Zach Lutz to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Sat, 30 Mar 2013 12:53:36 -0700 The New York Mets will wait until Sunday, March 30, to decide whether to place 2B Justin Turner (hamstring) on the 15-day disabled list. 3B Zach Lutz will make the 25-man roster if Turner has to go on the disabled list.
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:47:35 -0700 New York Mets 3B David Wright (back) has described his injury as soreness in the left side of his ribs, and he said it had been keeping him awake at night. It's something that he had been feeling for around a week. Wright won't play in the World Baseball Classic Friday, March 15, and it doesn't sound optimistic that he'll be allowed to play if Team USA advances to the semifinals. 2B Justin Turner is the obvious replacement for Wright at third base for the Mets if he's forced to miss the start of the season. INFs Zach Lutz, Brandon Hicks and Brian Bixler also have experience at third base.
Fantasy Tip: Until Wright is tested by the medical staff, we won't know much. If he's forced to sit out a week or so, he could still probably be ready for the start of the season. Turner is more of an NL-only target if Wright is forced to start on the DL.
Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:07:12 -0800 The New York Mets are expected to shop 2B Justin Turner, according to a source close to the team's plans. Turner could also open the season with Triple-A Las Vegas if he isn't dealt since he has an option remaining. The Mets may want to get INFs Brandon Hicks and Omar Quintanilla on the roster as infielders. INF Zach Lutz could also sneak onto the roster if Turner is dealt. RP Jeremy Hefner appears to be too valuable to risk on waivers, so he looks to be a lock for the 40-man roster.
Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:10:19 -0800 New York Mets OF Zach Lutz is making the transition from third base to the outfield this spring, and he started work on the move with outfield coach Tom Goodwin at the team's spring training complex. Lutz went 1-for-11 in his major league debut last year in seven games but hit .299 with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs in 294 plate appearances at Triple-A Buffalo. 2B Justin Turner will also get a look in the outfield. They will be competing with OFs Marlon Byrd and Andrew Brown.
Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:08:32 -0700 New York Mets 3B Zach Lutz (hand) will have surgery to fix a broken hamate bone in the base of his left hand Monday, Sept. 17, which will end his season. Lutz is 1-for-11 in his major league career.
Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:01:04 -0700 New York Mets 3B Zach Lutz (hand) hurt his hand swinging in the game Monday, Sept. 10, and he will be re-evaluated Tuesday, Sept. 11.
Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:00:11 -0700 The New York Mets have called up INF Zach Lutz from Triple-A Buffalo.
Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:13:56 -0700 New York Mets 3B Zach Lutz (hand) is expected to re-join Triple-A Buffalo Thursday, July 12, after playing six straight days for Class A St. Lucie. He is making his way back from surgery to remove a broken hamate bone in the base of his hand.
Thu, 24 May 2012 09:30:02 -0700 New York Mets 1B Ike Davis could still be sent to the minors, and manager Terry Collins isn't ruling out using OF Lucas Duda or 2B Daniel Murphy at first as a replacement. Duda has been taking grounders at first. OFs Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Baxter could serve as the corner outfielders against righties if Duda is moved to first base. INFs Jordany Valdespin, Zach Lutz or Josh Satin could be recalled if Davis is demoted.
