Easton Lucas last outing was the Toronto Blue Jays 2025 Grapefruit League opener against the New York Yankees Taking the ball for the club's first exhibition contest of the spring Lucas came out dealing in his Spring Training debut.
He tossed two scoreless innings, racking up three strikeouts on 26 pitches (19 strikes) while posting a solid 104 proStuff+. A strong start to the spring for the Blue jays' lefty.
Lucas, claimed off waivers from Detroit last August, pitched to a 1.37 ERA and 2.50 FIP with 21 strikeouts across 19.2 innings with Buffalo in 2024.
Overall, he logged 68.2 innings at triple-A between the Athletics, Tigers and Blue jays organizations, registering a 2.75 ERA, 3.61 FIP and 16.1-per-cent strikeout-to-walk rate difference.
The 28-year-old lefty also appeared in the majors with all three franchises, compiling an inflated 10.80 ERA and 5.14 FIP while issuing 10 strikeouts and nine walks over eight relief outings.
Most assumed he would compete for a spot in Toronto's bullpen this spring, battling alongside fellow southpaws Brendon Little (the presumed front-runner), Josh Walker, Richard Lovelady and Amir Garrett as the club's lefty specialist.
