Toronto Blue Jays outfielder removed from the game with an injury
The Toronto Blue Jays are currently down 2-1 to the Seattle Mariners in the 7th inning when news broke that one of their outfielder was removed from the game with an injury.
The Blue Jays announced their lineup this afternoon which many thought was one of their best lineups of the playoffs but the game has still been very tight so far between the two teams.

In the bottom of the first inning, Lukes hit a foul tip that ended up going right off of his knee which seem to put him in quite some pain but he was able to stay in the game.

The Blue Jays decided to replace Lukes with Myles Straw in the outfield as he went into the clubhouse to have his knee evaluated.

The Blue Jays will have to battle without Lukes for the rest of the game and find a way to take back the lead.
