INJURIES
Taking seat against lefty Lukes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact With southpaw Jake Bennett on the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Lukes will retreat to the bench after he had started each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two runs and one RBI. Toronto will go with a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right.

Three hits in Sunday's loss Lukes went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Batting second and getting the start in center field before shifting to right when Myles Straw entered the game in the seventh inning, Lukes put together another strong performance. The 31-year-old has hit safely in 16 of 18 games since coming off the IL in late May, slashing .358/.419/.448 in 75 plate appearances over that stretch with three doubles, a homer, five RBI and nine runs.

Homers batting leadoff Lukes went 2-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Lukes cranked a home run to right off of Grant Holmes in the third inning to give Toronto their last lead of the game. The outfielder has been hot since coming back from an injured hamstring in late May, continuing a 10-game hitting streak where he has gone 14-31 with three RBI, four doubles, and six runs scored. The 31-year-old has occupied the corner outfield spots since returning, while starting nearly everyday.

Occupying leadoff spot Sunday Lukes will start in left field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Since being reinstated from the injured list Monday, Lukes has gone 7-for-16 with two doubles, two walks, two runs and one RBI. He'll draw his fifth start in seven games, but Lukes may need to continue his hot-hitting ways to ensure he maintains a regular role once Addison Barger (elbow) is ready to come back from the IL. For now, Lukes and Jesus Sanchez look like the Blue Jays' preferred starters in the corner outfield, but Barger's eventual return will create a logjam.

Marlins starter Eury Pérez leaves after striking out 9 in 4 innings because of right hamstring spasm

MAY 27 • Associated Press
Heading to bench Tuesday Lukes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact After he was reinstated from the injured list prior to Monday's series opener, Lukes drew the start in center field and went 3-for-4 in Toronto's 8-2 win. Lukes also reached base a fourth time when he was struck on the helmet by a pitch, but manager John Schneider noted that the 31-year-old's absence from the lineup Wednesday isn't related, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. Instead, the Blue Jays are simply electing to build in some rest for Lukes, who had been shelved for a month due to a left hamstring strain. Toronto will go with Yohendrick Pinango, Daulton Varsho and Jesus Sanchez as its starters in the outfield from left to right in Tuesday's contest.
MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Three hits in return Lukes went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Seeing his first big-league action since late April, Lukes got the start in center field and hit second while Daulton Varsho got a breather. Lukes had been heating up prior to straining his hamstring, and over his last eight games for the Jays he's batting .560 (14-for-25) with four doubles. The 31-year-old should have a regular spot in an outfield corner as Toronto mixes and matches with Jesus Sanchez and Yohendrick Pinango, with Myles Straw also available as a short-side platoon option.
