The Toronto Blue Jays announce new update on Alek Manoah's return
The Toronto Blue Jays are still waiting on pitcher Alek Manoah to return to the mound but it looks like that moment is finally getting a bit closer after latest update.
Manoah's last outing came earlier this week when he pitched two innings for the Dunedin Blue Jays, giving up only three hits and 1 earned run while striking out two batters.

From the look of things, Manoah should be able to make the jump to Triple-A in the coming weeks which means his return to the mound for Toronto should still be on target for August.
Manoah's return will certainly make things interesting for the Blue Jays starting rotation since they plan on acquiring a new pitcher which will put them to a total of six with him back.
Fans are still uncertain on if Manoah will ever be able to return to the pitcher he once was after a rough few years but many are hopeful as it would be the perfect timing if he can get back to being the ace he once was.
