Blue Jays OF Anthony Santander (Back) Scratched From Game 2 Lineup

Nathan Lukes returns after scans cleared his bruised knee, while Anthony Santander is scratched for back tightness with Davis Schneider stepping into the lineup, Toronto aims to even the ALCS series.

  • On Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays will have right fielder Nathan Lukes back in the Game 2 lineup against the Seattle Mariners, starting in right field and batting second one day after leaving the opener.
  • After fouling a pitch off his right kneecap in the first inning, Nathan Lukes completed a 12-pitch walk before leaving with a knee contusion; X-ray and CT scan came back negative.
  • Veteran Anthony Santander was scratched from Monday's Game 2 lineup with lower back tightness, and Davis Schneider replaces him in left field, batting eighth as Ernie Clement moves to seventh.
  • The late lineup change forced Toronto to insert Davis Schneider and may reduce bench depth, leaning on Myles Straw, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Tyler Heineman; rookie Trey Yesavage starts opposite Mariners righty Logan Gilbert.
  • The club could use Tuesday's off day to assess Anthony Santander, veteran outfielder signed to a five-year, $92.5 million contract who missed almost four months and is 3 for 13 in four postseason games with Joey Loperfido as a potential substitute.
