This comes as quite the surprise since Lucas has been struggling in the minors as he currently has a 5.35 ERA in 33.2 innings pitched this season and the last time he was in the majors he also had a very rough time.
It will be interesting to see how Lucas ends up doing against the Orioles this afternoon as the Blue Jays need at least one win today to avoid their first series lost in quite some time.
