TORONTO 鈥� The Toronto Blue Jays have placed Kevin Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list.
The club says the outfield suffered a cut to his right elbow and the move is retroactive to Aug. 7.
Keirmaier was injured in Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox when he made a leaping catch against the centre-field fence at Fenway Park.
The resulting cut required eight stitches to close.
Outfielder Nathan Lukes has been called up from the Blue Jay's triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y. and will be available for Tuesday's road game with the Cleveland Guardians.
Lukes previously helped secure a 4-3 comeback win over the Detroit Tigers back in July after hitting an RBI double in the 10th inning.
