Alek Manoah had been making headlines for poor performances in the minors, but the former All-Star shoved for the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate on Tuesday.
Alek Manoah has rarely made headlines for the right reasons over the past few months, but he took a major step towards changing the narrative on Tuesday.has yet to appear in the big leagues this season as he continues to work through a shoulder injury and issues with his mechanics. After posting a 5.87 ERA in 19 MLB starts last season, Manoah opened up 2024 with an 11.85 ERA through four minor league rehab outings.
Toronto has kept Manoah on track for a major league comeback, though, and he made what could be his final rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right didn't disappoint, more than holding his own against baseball's top pitching prospect – Paul Skenes.selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, allowed four hits and a walk across 6.0 scoreless innings on Tuesday, all while striking out seven Buffalo batters. Manoah very nearly matched that, tossing 6.
He threw one to Yasmani Grandal over 84mph. Something he did only twice all last season & hadn't done in the minors this yearon the 15-day injured list with a back issue, costing them yet another member of their starting rotation. With Rodriguez out and top prospect Ricky Tiedemann injured, the timing of Manoah's resurgence couldn't be any better.
Toronto doesn't currently have a probable starter on the books for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. If he's cleared and called up in time, that spot could very well belong to Manoah. The Blue Jays have several off days coming up, though, so they may be able to get by with a four-man rotation for the time being. In that case, they could ease Manoah back into a big-league role.Baltimore Orioles' Youngster Does Something Not Done in Last Six Years of Spring Training HistoryReport Indicates That New York Mets Could Go Hard After 2025 Free Agent Class
