Manoah

Manoah had Tommy John surgery back in June and is now in the fourth week of his throwing program. The 26-year-old claims that he aims to “pitch the last two months of the regular season,” but he also didn’t want to put a firm timeline on his recovery. Obviously, that timetable would keep him off the radar in most fantasy leagues, but it would be nice to see the talented young pitcher bounce back to his prior form.

Manoah underwent Tommy John surgery back in June and is expected to miss a significant portion, if not all, of next season. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point in the late stages of the 2025 campaign, but that’s up in the air at the moment. The 26-year-old former ace seems like a bit of a long shot to be fantasy-relevant at any point in the future.

Manoah underwent Tommy John surgery two months ago and will be sidelined into the second half of next season.

It ended up being a hybrid ligament replacement with an internal brace procedure that is expected to keep Manoah sidelined for the next 12-14 months. The 26-year-old righty wound up making just five starts this season for Toronto. At this point, it’s getting difficult to envision him being fantasy-relevant ever again.

Manoah left his last outing with left elbow discomfort, and the 26-year-old will need to miss the remainder of 2024 after undergoing the procedure. It’s yet another setback for a right-hander who was among the best young hurlers in baseball in 2022, and now has many more questions than answers regarding his future in the sport.

Manoah was pulled from Wednesday’s start with elbow discomfort and now finds himself on the injured list. The 26-year-old right-hander had a 3.70 ERA and SO:BB of 26:8 in 24 1/3 innings for Toronto. While his timetable to return is unclear, he’s expected to miss an extended period of time.

Manoah is headed for a second opinion on his elbow, according to TSN’s Scott Mitchell. It’s safe to say that the first opinion wasn’t, “What a fine elbow you have, Mr. Manoah.” The 26-year-old right-hander is safe to drop in leagues without injury spots as he’s expected to miss significant time.

Manoah suffered the injury during the second inning of his start against the White Sox on Wednesday. The 26-year-old hurler has pitched well in his five starts for the Jays this season, compiling a 3.70 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 26/8 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings. Expect the Jays to provide another update on his status — and perhaps a timeline for his return — after Thursday’s exam. All fantasy managers can do in the meantime is hope for the best.

Ugh, that’s never what you want to hear. The 26-year-old hurler had been pitching well too — allowing just one hit and striking out three batters over his first 1 2/3 innings. He’ll head for additional tests and imaging to determine the severity of the issue, but you would have to think that a trip to the injured list is coming. It’s a tough break for someone who worked so hard to claw his way back to the Blue Jays’ rotation.

The 26-year-old right-hander punched out four batters on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. He served up a pair of homers in the ballgame — a solo shot to Colt Keith in the second inning and a two-run blast to Kerry Carpenter as the final batter that he faced in the fifth inning. His defense also did him no favors in this one. Manoah got 13 swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he carries a 3.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 23/8 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s start against the White Sox in Chicago.
