Alek Manoah, the former All-Star pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, is potentially nearing a return after Tommy John surgery for an elbow injury. He is set to throw to live hitters in Florida, with prospects for a rehab start ahead. His earlier season performance included a 1-2 record and a 3.70 ERA before injury. Manoah's previous All-Star season in 2022 showcased his capabilities. The Blue Jays are currently on an eight-game win streak and have overtaken the AL East lead, benefiting from Manoah’s return as they aim for continued success.
Alek Manoah is throwing to live hitters again tomorrow in Florida, simulating two innings. John Schneider says that after tomorrow, he'll either throw one more live session to his own hitters or move into his first rehab game.
Manoah was on pace for another solid season. Through five starts in 2024, Manoah had a 1-2 record, 3.70 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and tallied 26 strikeouts in 24.1 innings pitched.
If Alek Manoah is able to return to his All-Star potential that Toronto saw from him in 2022, his presence in the pitching staff would only be great for the Blue Jays moving forward.
With an MLB-leading eight-game win streak entering a series in which they travel to Chicago to take on the White Sox, the Blue Jays have been the hottest team in baseball in the month of July.
