Nathan Lukes has returned to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup after a brief stint on the injured list due to a concussion. He was crucially integrated into the batting order against the Chicago White Sox, hitting seventh in left field. Before his injury, Lukes was performing well with a .267 batting average, four home runs, and 21 RBIs.

The Blue Jays also reinstated pitcher Nick Sandlin from the 15-day injured list, while optioning Justin Bruihl and Will Robertson to triple-A Buffalo. Meanwhile, Max Scherzer is on track to start against the Cleveland Guardians next week following a successful bullpen session. Other injury updates include Daulton Varsho, who is expected to return to games soon, while Yimi Garcia is scheduled to pitch in a single-A game, and Bowden Francis continues his recovery after a cortisone injection.
