Recalled, in lineup Tuesday The Blue Jays recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
Impact Loperfido is drawing the start in left field and will bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener versus the Astros.

Loperfido could see reps in the outfield against righties while Bo Bichette (knee) is out, if the Blue Jays elect to use Addison Barger at third base regularly as they are Tuesday.

Sent to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Loperfido had been part of the big-league roster since July 6, slashing .358/.409/.506, but a wealth of talent in the outfield leaves Loperfido as the odd man out.

Checking back into lineup Loperfido (knee) will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Loperfido was limited to a bench role in each of the previous three contests while he managed a bruised right knee, but his ability to make pinch-hitting appearances Friday and Saturday suggested that he was never at any real risk of requiring a stint on the injured list. With the 26-year-old stepping back into the starting nine for the series finale in Los Angeles, Davis Schneider will retreat to the bench.
