TORONTO — Toronto Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right elbow sprain and was scheduled for an in-person evaluation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister next week.
The 26-year-old right-hander, who missed the first five weeks of the season due to right shoulder inflammation, was removed in the second inning of Wednesday's 3-1 win in Chicago after experiencing discomfort in his throwing arm.
Schneider said Manoah received treatment after his May 24 start against Detroit and"looked and felt good" after throwing a side session in Chicago. However, his velocity dipped in the second inning against the White Sox and he was pulled after recording two outs in the frame. Manoah was an American League Cy Young Award finalist in 2022 but struggled last year and was demoted on two occasions. The six-foot-six 285-pound native of Homestead, Fla., was shut down in mid-September after receiving multiple injections in his pitching arm.
The news was a blow for a starting rotation that has found its footing over the last couple weeks after a middling start to the season.
