Nathan Lukes Battles Vertigo, Heats Up at Bat

0:00It's April 19, Toronto Blue Jays News. Today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Nathan Loose kicked off the 2026 MLB season ice cold for the Toronto Blue Jays, going just three for 32 at the plate. Now we know why, Vertigo has been throwing him off his game. He's been battling inter-men dizziness in nausea all the way back from spring training. The Blue Jays medical team diagnosed it recently and cleared him to keep playing with coaches trusting him to push through. Vertigo hits hard, making the world spin even when it's still, and messing with your ability to track fast-moving objects like pitches. That lines up perfect with his sky-high 44% chase rate, a total outlier for his career. Luke saw a specialist in Arizona last Friday and reports he's starting to feel better already. It's wild that he'd catch the sooner and kept sending him out there, but with treatment kicking in, expects him to heat up and contribute like we. No he can.
