Losing out on playing time Pinango is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact On the bench for the Blue Jays' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, Pinango appears to have faded into a reserve role following Nathan Lukes' return from the injured list Monday. Though the rookie has held his own against big-league pitching thus far with a .277/.318/.398 slash line in 88 plate appearances, Pinango could soon be headed back to Triple-A Buffalo while Lukes, Jesus Sanchez and Daulton Varsho serve as Toronto's primary starters in the outfield. Pinango's path to playing time will only become more blocked once Addison Barger (elbow) eventually returns from the IL, likely at some point in early-to-mid June.

Bases-loaded walk lifts the Blue Jays to a 2-1 victory over the Orioles

Heading to bench Thursday Pinango is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Pinango saw his five-game hitting streak come to an end Wednesday, when he struck out in all three of his at-bats in the Blue Jays' 2-1 win over the Marlins. Though he's been reasonably productive at the big-league level this season with a .743 OPS across 83 plate appearances, Pinango could nonetheless find himself as an odd man out of the lineup more frequently with the Toronto outfield group suddenly becoming more crowded. The Blue Jays already got Nathan Lukes back from the injured list Monday, and Addison Barger (elbow) appears to be trending toward a return from the shelf in early-to-mid June.

Goes deep Tuesday Pinango went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Blue Jays' 8-1 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Impact Pinango kicked off the Blue Jays' five-run sixth inning with a solo home run off Sandy Alcantara, which was the former's second deep ball of his major-league career. Pinango is on a five-game hitting streak, going 6-for-19 (.316) with three extra-base hits and four RBI.

Taking seat versus lefty Pinango is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Pinango went 4-for-16 with a solo home run and a walk while starting the past four games for Toronto, but he'll hit the bench Monday as the Yankees send a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Davis Schneider will replace Pinango in left field and bat ninth.

Belts first big-league homer Pinango went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Impact The rookie outfielder took Kyle Finnegan deep in the seventh inning to get the Blue Jays on the board, and give Pinango his first career homer in the majors. He's seeing regular playing time against right-handed pitching with Addison Barger (elbow) back on the IL, and through his first 15 games with Toronto he's slashing .364/.404/.477 with two doubles, three runs and seven RBI.

Rejoining parent club The Blue Jays recalled Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Impact After being optioned to Buffalo on Saturday, Pinango will make his way back to Toronto just two days later with Addison Barger (elbow) going back on the injured list with a new health concern. Before his recent demotion, Pinango fared well in his first taste of the big leagues, slashing .423/.444/.462 over 27 plate appearances. The Blue Jays will likely turn to Pinango to fill the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield while Barger and Nathan Lukes (hamstring) are on the shelf.
