Phenomenal update announced for Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah
Alek Manoah had his second start of his rehab assignment with the Dunedin Blue Jays which looks to have been a great success and have Toronto Blue Jays fans quite excited.
Manoah's first game in Dunedin did not go according to plan as he gave up 4 runs on a total of 22 pitches but the Blue Jays clearly stated they just wanted him back out there and were not concerned with the results.

While these stats don't jump off the page, they are a great step in the right direction for Manoah who has been recovering for more than a year after having Tommy John surgery last season.

At this rate, Manoah will hopefully begin to soon jump up in the minors and be in Buffalo with the Bisons in a couple weeks before finally returning to the mound for the Blue Jays.
If the Blue Jays can somehow find a way to get things with Manoah he can be the exact thing they need to take them over the hump and make them true World Series contenders.
