Alek Manoah To Make Another Rehab Start Saturday
8 months agoToronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah (shoulder) will throw a side session in Toronto on Thursday and is then scheduled to make a minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. In his first rehab start with Single-A Dunedin over the weekend, Manoah allowed seven runs (six earned) on five hits (one homer) while walking four and striking out two in 1 2/3 innings. It was not the outing that he or the Blue Jays were hoping for as he tries to recover from right-shoulder issues this spring. Manoah is going to need to show much better control if he wants to rejoin the big-league starting rotation when his rehab assignment is up. Otherwise, the team could elect to keep him in the minors so that he can continue working on his issues after a nightmarish 2023 campaign.
