Alek Manoah Looks Better in Second Rehab Game
Alek Manoah (elbow) looked much better in his second minor-league rehab start on Sunday at Single-A Dunedin, giving up one run on three hits while walking none and striking out two in two innings of work. He threw 16 of his 28 pitches for strikes in the outing after going just one-third of an inning in his first rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 27-year-old is making progress after having an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow last June, but he'll need at least three more rehab starts before the Jays consider activating him from the 60-day injured list to rejoin the big-league squad. The former first-rounder was an All-Star in 2022 and was third in the American League Cy Young voting before falling apart in 2023 and being demoted to the minors. Manoah won't be guaranteed a rotation spot when he's deemed fully healthy.
