Lukes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. 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.

Nathan Lukes: Breaking News
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. 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.
Sitting Sunday
Lukes is not in Toronto's starting lineup against Baltimore on Sunday. Lukes will take a seat after going 1-for-8 across the first two games of the series. Jesus Sanchez, Myles Straw and Yohendrick Pinango will man the outfield from left to right for the Blue Jays.
