2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lukes made his major league debut in 2023, slashing .192/.290./.308 across 31 plate appearances with the Blue Jays. Lukes did impress in his age 28 season at Triple-A across 222 plate appearances hitting .366/.423/.530 with five home runs and three stolen bases. Entering his age 29 season, the corner outfielder is likely destined for a return to Triple-A in 2024 after the signings of Kevin Kiermaier and Isiah Kiner-Falefa pushed him further down the depth chart. If Lukes does make a return to the majors in the new campaign it'll likely be as a depth option off the bench. Read Past Outlooks
Sent back to Buffalo
The Blue Jays optioned Lukes to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Lukes was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but the return of Kevin Kiermaier (hip) from the injured list will force Lukes back to Buffalo before he could appear in a game with Toronto. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .284/.348/.432 in the minors this season and could return to the Blue Jays if their outfield depth is tested again later in the year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to join big club?
Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that Lukes is slated to travel to Washington to join up with the Blue Jays on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Lukes did not make the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster despite going 18-for-40 with four doubles, one triple and two steals in spring training. He's played in 20 games with Triple-A Buffalo this season, slashing .284/.348/.432 with 13 runs, three home runs and 13 RBI over 89 plate appearances. Lukes would give Toronto a left-handed bat who can cover the entire outfield, which could be needed if Kevin Kiermaier remains on the shelf past his 10-day IL window due to left hip flexor inflammation.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lukes was signed by Toronto as a minor-league free agent in November 2021 and was immediately added to the 40-man roster, and he spent his first season in the organization at Triple-A Buffalo. He played in 111 games during 2022 and had a .285/.361/.425 slash line with 11 home runs and 20 stolen bases, with the long balls and steals representing career highs. The departure of Teoscar Hernandez opens up some reps in the outfield (as well as designated hitter) for the Blue Jays, which should increase the chances of Lukes making his MLB debut in 2023. Still, he doesn't exactly have a clear path to a regular role.
