Deadspin | Jays place OF Nathan Lukes (concussion) on 7-day injured list Deadspin | Jays place OF Nathan Lukes (concussion) on 7-day injured list

Blue Jays place outfielder Nathan Lukes on seven-day injured list with concussion ST LOUIS - Outfielder Nathan Lukes has been placed on the seven-day injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays.
JUNE 11, 2025 • THESTAR.COM
Placed on concussion injured list The Blue Jays placed Lukes on the 7-day concussion injured list Wednesday.
Impact Lukes was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup in St. Louis with what was described as neck discomfort at the time, but subsequent testing has determined he is dealing with a concussion. He'll be eligible for activation June 17, but as is the case with all concussions, there is some uncertainty as to when he'll be ready to play again.

Placed on concussion IL The Blue Jays placed Lukes on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
Impact Lukes was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's win over the Cardinals with what was described as neck discomfort at the time, but subsequent testing has determined that he is dealing with a concussion. He'll be eligible for activation June 17, but as is the case with all players recovering from concussions, the return timeline can be volatile.

Remains on bench Wednesday Lukes (neck) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Lukes was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Tuesday's 10-9 win due to neck discomfort, and he'll remain on the bench for the series finale. The Blue Jays haven't indicated whether the left-handed-hitting Lukes' absence has more to do with the neck injury, or because the Cardinals are sending a left-hander (Matthew Liberatore) to the hill. Regardless, Toronto will roll out an outfield of Jonatan Clase, Myles Straw and George Springer from left to right Wednesday.

Cardinals aim to end slide in matchup with the Blue Jays

The St. Louis Cardinals look to break their three-game skid when they take on the Toronto Blue Jays
JUNE 11, 2025 • Associated Press
Scratched with neck injury Lukes was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cardinals due to neck discomfort.
Impact The severity of Lukes' injury remains unknown, though it will force him out of at least Tuesday's game. While he sits, Jonatan Clase, Myles Straw and Alan Roden will start across Toronto's outfield.
JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Taking seat Sunday Lukes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Though he'll hit the bench while southpaw JP Sears takes the hill for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Lukes should continue to have a fairly clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching for the foreseeable future after Daulton Varsho (hamstring) joined Anthony Santander (shoulder) on the injured list Sunday. Lukes has been seeing most of his playing time in the outfield corners of late, but manager John Schneider suggested that Lukes could end up filling the strong side of a platoon in center field with the right-handed-hitting Myles Straw while Varsho is on the shelf, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

Springer hits 2 HRs as Blue Jays beat Athletics 8-7

George Springer hit two of Toronto’s four home runs and the Blue Jays held on to beat the Athletics 8-7 for their fourth straight win
MAY 31, 2025 • Associated Press
Swipes first bag Lukes went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.
Impact The steal was his first of the season, on his third attempt. Lukes is slashing .293/.397/.466 through 22 games in May with three homers, 10 runs and 11 RBI as he establishes himself as the Blue Jays' regular starter in left field.

Bichette hits 9th inning pinch HR and 5 Toronto pitchers combine on 1-hitter in 2-0 win at Texas

Bo Bichette hit a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth inning, five Toronto pitchers combined on a one-hitter and the Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 2-0
MAY 29, 2025 • Associated Press
Absent from starting lineup Lukes is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday.
Impact Lukes will begin Tuesday's contest in the dugout while George Springer, Daulton Varsho and Anthony Santander start in the outfield for the Blue Jays. Lukes has slashed .273/.385/.455 with three home runs and nine RBI in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of May.
MAY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
On bench for series finale Lukes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact Jonatan Clase will pick up a start in left field in place of Lukes, who had been included in the lineup in each of Toronto's last nine games while slashing .231/.333/.462 with two home runs. At least until Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Lukes looks like he'll have a fairly clear runway to consistent playing time. Once Gimenez is back in action, however, Lukes could lose out on some work if the Blue Jays elect to shift Ernie Clement from second base to third base and move Addison Barger from the hot corner to a corner-outfield spot.

Plays hero with walkoff hit Lukes went 1-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Padres.
Impact The 30-year-old outfielder walked it off in the bottom of the 11th inning with an RBI single through a drawn-in infield. The Blue Jays have gotten little from Anthony Santander (hip) so far this season, but Lukes has filled in admirably of late, slashing .263/.364/.500 over his last 12 games with three homers, seven RBI, eight runs and a 6:5 BB:K.

Pops fourth homer Lukes went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's rout of the Padres.
Impact Lukes took Randy Vasquez deep in the fifth inning to open the scoring for the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .302/.400/.535 through 52 plate appearances in May with three of his four homers on the season, along with nine runs and 10 RBI, and with Anthony Santander (hip) still not 100 percent healthy, Lukes should continue seeing consistent playing time against right-handed pitching.
