Sitting again Wednesday
Lukes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Lukes has started in just two of the Blue Jays' first six games, with two of his absences coming against lefties and two coming against righties. Toronto will go with a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right in the series finale versus Colorado.

Cedes LF to Sanchez on Sunday
Lukes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
Toronto has now used three different starters in left field and in the No. 2 spot in the batting order in its first three games, with Jesus Sanchez receiving the nod Sunday after Lukes got the Opening Day nod and Davis Schneider started Saturday against lefty Jeffrey Springs. Schneider is the preferred short-side platoon option of the trio, but Lukes and Sanchez may be stuck in a timeshare against righties unless one of them gets hot at the plate.
