Nathan Lukes meeting Blue Jays in Washington ahead of series vs. Nationals

Arden Zwelling and Shi Davidi discuss the Blue Jays' offensive struggles, why they need to keep having faith that Vlad Guerrero Jr., George Springer and Bo Bichette will find their groove, and why you can't put today's loss on Chris Bassitt.

Outfielder Nathan Lukes is headed to Washington to meet the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of their three-game series with the Nationals, according to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi.

Lukes had a solid showing in spring training but did not make the Opening Day roster.

The 29-year-old has posted a .284/.348/.432 slashline with three home runs and 13 RBI in 20 appearances with the triple-A Buffalo Bisons this year.

Lukes was selected in the seventh round of the 2015 MLB draft by Cleveland.
