In Saturday's lineup Lukes (migraine) will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against the Tigers.

Impact A migraine caused Lukes to make an early exit from Friday's contest, but he seems to be feeling better Saturday. The 30-year-old outfielder has been on a roll since the start of May, slashing .313/.405/.531 with two homers and eight RBI in 12 games.

Leaves game with migraine Lukes was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers due to a migraine.

Impact Lukes had gone 0-for-2 before exiting the game ahead of the seventh inning. The 30-year-old has started in the outfield regularly for Toronto recently, though Myles Straw and Jonatan Clase could see more reps if Lukes' migraine persists over the next few days.

Smacks late homer Lukes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Rays.

Impact Lukes went yard in the eighth inning, but the Blue Jays weren't able to make a comeback push out of it. He has been steady in May, going 10-for-30 with two homers and eight RBI over 11 contests this month. Lukes is up to a .273/.372/.439 slash line with three homers, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and no stolen bases over 79 plate appearances. He doesn't have a defined position but has managed to sustain decent playing time as a fourth outfielder, primarily in competition with Jonatan Clase and Myles Straw over the last week.

Sitting after five straight starts Lukes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Lukes will hit the bench after he had picked up starts in the corner outfield in each of the Blue Jays' last five games while going 5-for-18 with a home run and two walks. He'll be replaced in left field by Jonatan Clase, but Lukes may have the upper hand on a regular lineup spot until Andres Gimenez's (quadricep) eventual return from the injured list takes an everyday role off the table.

Perfect at plate Sunday Lukes went 3-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact This was Lukes' fourth straight game in the lineup, and he's gone 5-for-16 with a home run and three RBI in that span. The outfielder has started in right field in three straight contests as part of a ripple effect that saw Ernie Clement move from third to second and Addison Barger go from right to third when Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the injured list. Lukes is up to a .279 batting average with two homers, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases on two attempts across 74 plate appearances.

MAY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gaining traction in lineup Lukes will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Lukes will pick up his fourth straight start in the outfield and seems to be the primary beneficiary of second baseman Andres Gimenez's (quadricep) recent move to the injured list. Since Gimenez landed on the IL, Ernie Clement has taken over as the Blue Jays' primary second baseman, and Addison Barger has moved to third base to open up a spot in the outfield for Lukes.

Clubs homer in win Lukes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Lukes is 6-for-18 (.333) with six RBI and two extra-base hits over seven games in May. The outfielder is sporting a .259/.359/.407 slash line with two homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 65 plate appearances. He has primarily served in a strong-side platoon role, functioning as a fourth outfielder whenever one of Toronto's regulars needs to get some from rest from defensive duties.

Brings in go-ahead run Lukes went 1-for-2 with a two-run single in Friday's 5-3 win over the Guardians.

Impact Lukes pinch hit for Myles Straw in the sixth inning and struck out, but the former bounced back in the eighth, when he smacked a two-run single to right field to give the Blue Jays a two-run lead. With Dalton Varsho back from the injured list, Lukes is competing with Straw, Alan Roden and Addison Barger for reps in the outfield. Lukes has gone 7-for-17 with one home run and four RBI over his last six games.

Connects for first homer in loss Lukes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Houston.

Impact It was the first homer of the campaign by Lukes, who took Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco deep in the third inning. While Lukes does have four walks through his first 37 plate appearances of the year, he's batting just .200 with one double, five RBI and seven runs scored in 15 games. With Daulton Varsho (shoulder) nearing a return to Toronto's outfield, it's quite possible Lukes will be the odd man out when a corresponding move needs to be made in order to activate the former from the injured list.

Impact Lukes missed the Blue Jays' last two games while welcoming the newest addition of his family, and he'll be available to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mariners. Lukes has started the season slashing .167/.310/.208 with four walks, six runs scored and three RBI in 29 plate appearances.
