BRONX – Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes returned to the Toronto lineup Wednesday night for Game 4 of the American League Division Series in New York.
Lukes, who will bat second, was given the start in left field. He’s hitting .286 in the series with three RBIs.
Davis Schneider played in left field in a 9-6 loss to the Yankees in Game 3. He was available off the bench in Game 4.
Reliever Louis Varland was scheduled to start for Toronto in a bullpen game against New York rookie Cam Schlittler.
“That’s one thing that’s really good about this team is we’re good at turning the page,” Lukes said in a pre-game availability. “(The) clubhouse is where it needs to be and we’re ready to go.”
