Loperfido isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Friday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Loperfido will take a day to regroup Friday after going 1-for-15 with five strikeouts during Toronto's previous series against the Red Sox. In his place, Nathan Lukes will make his first start of the year in left field and bat eighth. Per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Loperfido is getting the night off to rest after colliding with the wall during Thursday's game against Boston.
