Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes was back in the lineup for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday against Seattle.

He had to leave Sunday's Game 1 after the third inning due to a bruised knee. Lukes fouled a ball off his right leg in a 12-pitch at-bat in the opening frame of the 3-1 loss to the Mariners.

He was slated to bat second and play right field for the late afternoon start at Rogers Centre.

"He's getting treatment and feeling better this morning so he's in there," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said in a pre-game media availability in his office.

Schneider said Lukes was pulled after having some trouble "starting and stopping." He was replaced by backup outfielder Myles Straw.

"All the X-rays, CT scan, everything was good," Schneider said.
