TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes left Game 1 of the AL Championship Series against Seattle on Sunday after bruising a knee.
Lukes fouled a ball off his right knee in the first, falling in pain, but stayed in the game and drew a 12-pitch walk. He flied out leading off he third and was replaced by Myles Straw for the start of the fourth.
“He had a CT scan. Negative for a fracture,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Toronto’s 3-1 loss. “His knee was pretty sore, obviously. Nate is one of those guys, he doesn’t want to come out of a game ever. I think if he’s medically good to play tomorrow, he’ll be in there.”
Lukes went 4 for 12 with five RBIs in Toronto’s Division Series win over the New York Yankees, including a key two-run single in the Game 4 clincher. He also made a diving catch in Toronto’s Game 1 win.
