Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Easton Lucas was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and was activated for Saturday's home game against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.

In six games (five starts) over two separate stints with the Blue Jays this season, Lucas was 3-3 with a 6.66 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 24.1 innings pitched.

The 28-year-old is 2-3 with a 4.05 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) at Triple-A, while posting a 1.40 ERA in his last six outings. That run included an Aug. 24 no-decision where he allowed two hits and two walks over five innings.

In parts of three major league seasons, Lucas is 4-3 with an 8.02 ERA in 20 appearances (five starts) with the Oakland Athletics, Detroit Tigers and Blue Jays.

In a corresponding move, left-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A.

Bruihl, 28, has a 5.68 ERA in 14 relief appearances this season with the Blue Jays. He is 2-2 with a 4.77 ERA in 93 career appearances (two starts) with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2021-23), Colorado Rockies (2023), Pittsburgh Pirates (2024) and Blue Jays.
