Alek Manoah has been trying to make a comeback from shoulder inflammation, however, he hit a setback after an awful outing with the Dunedin Blue Jays.
According to MLB.com, Manoah played just under two innings, and threw 58 pitches. During that time, he gave up a total of seven runs and four walks. He even hit a batter in the process. This is the worst-case scenario for Manoah, who had a truly awful 2023 season in which he went 3-9 and had an ERA over 5. Manoah was in Dunedin with Erik Swanson, who was also on a rehab stint.
It is believed that Manoah could end up staying in Dunedin until he is ready for Triple-A. This is certainly not the status update that the Blue Jays were hoping for. Instead, they wanted to see real progress, and a return to that 2022 form in which Manoah was in the running for the Cy Young.
