"Lucas, 29, was drafted in the 14th round of the 2019 draft by the Miami Marlins. He bounced around the league for a bit and made his way to the Oakland Athletics in 2023, the team he debuted for. The left-handed pitcher spent time with the Athletics and Detroit Tigers in 2024 until the Blue Jays picked him up on waivers."
"Lucas had a tough assignment in his second start, matching up against Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Apr. 8. In five and two-thirds innings, Lucas gave up four runs (one earned), with four walks and five strikeouts. I'm just kidding, that was Crochet's line. Instead, Lucas pitched five and one-third innings, allowing just three hits in his second consecutive scoreless outing. More importantly, he struck out eight and walked one batter to earn his second win of the season."
Easton Lucas, 29, was drafted in the 14th round in 2019 by the Miami Marlins and reached the majors with the Oakland Athletics in 2023. He spent time with the Athletics and Detroit Tigers in 2024 before the Toronto Blue Jays claimed him on waivers. Lucas debuted on April 2, pitching five one-hit innings and striking out three, then followed with another outing that included eight strikeouts and his second win. He later endured rough starts, was optioned multiple times between the majors and Triple-A Buffalo, and received several call-ups. He has been placed on unconditional release waivers with an overseas deal reportedly lined up.
