1 year agoThe fifth spot in the Toronto Blue Jays' starting rotation behind Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Yusei Kikuchi will be a competition between Alek Manoah, Bowden Francis and potentially Cuban right-hander Yariel Rodriguez, but MLB's Keegan Matheson thinks that Manoah still has the inside track on the job. The 26-year-old Manoah dealt with a shoulder injury and has a nightmarish 2023 campaign just a year after making his first All-Star team. He was demoted to the minors two different times and ultimately finished with a 5.87 ERA (6.01 FIP), a 1.74 WHIP, 59 walks and 79 strikeouts in 87 1/3 big-league innings over 19 starts. If he's fully healthy this spring and shows better results, Manoah's fantasy value should slowly start to tick back up as a potential low-cost value play.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
