Blue Jays Expect Alek Manoah To Pitch In Big Leagues Again This Year
1 year agoToronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said he "absolutely" expects right-hander Alek Manoah to pitch in the big leagues again this season. Manoah has a bullpen session coming up on Friday, after which the team will determine where he will pitch next. It's hard to imagine right now after the 25-year-old coughed up a whopping 11 runs on 10 hits (two homers) while walking two and fanning three in 2 2/3 innings in his first start in the minors in the Florida Complex League since being sent down. Despite the forgettable outing, the Blue Jays remain encouraged by what Manoah is working on. Still, a lot of fantasy managers have moved on in single-year leagues, and he's currently rostered in 52% of Yahoo leagues. It's been a hard fall for a pitcher that finished third in American League Cy Young voting just last year.
