The Toronto Blue Jays announce major update on Alek Manaoh
The Toronto Blue Jays announce quite the update regarding pitcher Alek Manoah who seems to be getting quite close to a return to the mound for Toronto.
Manoah has been progressing with the Dunedin Blue Jays for a few weeks now and seems to be feeling very strong as he will likely make his return for August as the team announced earlier in the year.
Blue Jays announce incredible update on Alek Manoah after sim game today
The Blue Jays had Manoah throw a sim game yesterday with a total of 45 pitches which seems to have gone extremely well as his fastball velocity got up to 95 MPH.
It looks like Manoah will have a bullpen session tomorrow followed by another game with the Dunedin Blue Jays likely later this week before the team decides to move him up to either Double-A or Triple-A to continue his rehab.
Alek Manoah threw 45 pitches over three simulated innings in Dunedin on Saturday. His fastball velocity was up to 95 mph.
Manoah is throwing a bullpen on Tuesday. Plan is for him to throw one more outing in Florida before his rehab moves to a higher minor league level.

Alek Manoah threw 45 pitches in a sim game Saturday and will throw one more game in Florida (likely a real game with Dunedin) before he potentially moves up to continue his rehab. #BlueJays
Having Manoah pitching at 95 MPH is a huge step in the right direction for the Blue Jays who are hoping that when he returns they will be getting back the pitcher he was during the 2022 season.
If Manoah is fully healthy, the Blue Jays will need to figure out if they want to go after another starting pitcher at the trade deadline or if they feel safe with adding him to the rotation for the playoffs.
The tough part in all of this is that Manoah will only be ready after the trade deadline.
