There is officially a new baby within the Toronto Blue Jays organization, and a second is expected to follow shortly.

Outfielder Nathan Lukes and his wife, Taylor, welcomed a baby boy to the world this morning. The 30-year-old, who has appeared in 12 games with the Blue Jays this season, was placed on the paternity list yesterday.

This is the Lukes’ second child. They had a baby girl, Remi Lynn, in November 2021.

Varsho, whom the Blue Jays acquired ahead of the 2023 season, has yet to play in 2025 due to a shoulder injury. He was recently cleared to begin his rehab assignment, but has taken a break to be with his wife at this time.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Blue Jays have continued to carry on and were able to pick up a 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves this afternoon. They currently sit second in the AL East with a 10-8 record and will begin a three-game home series versus the Seattle Mariners on Friday evening.
