I'm pretty sure I heard them say they intended to keep Lugo out at least
one more game. For whatevr that's worth.

Entirely possible, Don. Entirely possible.

Let's face it. If you're in a terrible slump, you should probably not
be shocked if your manager wants to take you out of the lineup for a
few days at some point. "You" need to take some time to re-focus
and put in some serious work on your hitting with the hitting coach.
And the team cannot be held totally hostage to "your" bad hitting,
if it has an acceptable option.
