Blue Jays Officially Recall Alek Manoah From Minors
1 year agoThe Toronto Blue Jays officially recalled right-hander Alek Manoah from Double-A New Hampshire on Friday and placed right-hander Jay Jackson on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Manoah will be making his awaited return to Toronto's starting rotation on Friday when he faces the Detroit Tigers on the road. The 25-year-old made his first All-Star appearance in 2022 in just his second MLB season, but things went awry earlier this year to the tune of a 1-7 record, 6.36 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in 13 starts to prompt the Blue Jays to send him down to work on his mechanics. Manoah was torched for 11 runs in 2 2/3 innings in the Florida Complex League before bouncing back in a start for New Hampshire on July 2. He's still rostered in 70% of Yahoo leagues, but a solid showing in his return on Friday will cause that number to rise quickly.
