The Toronto Blue Jays have been unable to shake the injuries this season as Nathan Lukes is the latest outfielder to be placed on the injured list.
Not long ago the Blue Jays placed Anthony Santander on IL as well but this move has somehow actually helped the team as they have been on a serious hot streak since he went down.
Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes is headed to IL
The Blue Jays announced yesterday that they called up Will Robertson from Triple-A to replace Lukes who was scratched from the lineup due to a neck injury that he has been dealing with since the series against the Minnesota Twins.
Despite it originally sounding like the problems was nothing too serious, the Blue Jays have now placed Lukes on 7 day IL due to concussion symptoms which resulted in the Blue Jays selecting Will Robertson's contract.
ROSTER MOVES:
OF Will Robertson selected to the Major League Roster and will be active today

The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Nathan Lukes on the seven-day injured list on Wednesday and selected the contract of rookie outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Buffalo.
Lukes' move was retroactive to Tuesday. He apparently was hurt in the sixth inning of Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins when he collided with Blue Jays second baseman Ernie Clement.
Lukes started to feel concussion symptoms due to that collision, according to the team, which doesn't expect him to need more than seven days to recover. #MLB

Robertson will now have a chance to prove himself at the MLB level which he has never played in before but the Blue Jays are hoping he continue to have the same success he had in Triple-A when it comes to hitting at he currently has 12 homeruns and 35 RBIs in 52 games.
