Alek Manoah Placed on the 15-Day Injured List
The Los Angeles Angels have placed starting pitcher Alek Manoah (finger) on the 15-day injured list due to a fingernail issue, per Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune. Had he been healthy, Manoah may have broken camp as a member of the Angels' Opening Day starting rotation, particularly with fellow Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez (arm) also opening the year on the injured list. The 28-year-old Manoah is attempting to resurrect his career in Los Angeles after being waived by the Toronto Blue Jays last September. Manoah finished third in the American League Cy Young vote while pitching for Toronto in 2022, but has battled injuries and ineffectiveness ever since. He opened the 2025 season rehabbing an elbow injury and never made it to the big leagues, finishing the year with a 3.96 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 38 2/3 minor league innings (10 starts). Manoah struggled mightily in Cactus League action for the Angels before getting injured, allowing 14 walks and five home runs across 15 1/3 innings pitched. Manoah will need to show a sustained run of both health and production before he's worthy of fantasy consideration in the majority of league formats.
