A healthy and confident return from pitcher Alek Manoah is the most important factor solidifying the Toronto Blue Jays starting rotation and boosting their chances of winning consistently.
Even getting Manoah back for just a month could be a massive game-changer for the Blue Jays’ season.
Manoah is a crucial factor for the Blue Jays’ rotation late in the season.
Veronica Chung from Blue Jays Nation writes that the 27-year-old isn’t expected to return until August, but adding a pitcher of his caliber could feel just like landing a key trade deadline acquisition to close out the season.
“At the same time, this is also contingent on how Manoah tweaks his pitching mechanics, among other things. The version of Manoah that Toronto needs is the one who recorded a 2.24 ERA in 196 2/3 innings pitched with 180 strikeouts.” -Chung
If the Blue Jays want to make the playoffs and bounce back from their disappointing 2024 campaign, they can’t afford to have a struggling starter like the right-hander was in 2023.
“Pitching is a crucial foundation for any team with playoff aspirations. Not many teams in the postseason have made it deeper into the stage without a strong pitching performance-good pitching comes from consistency, strength and resilience.” -Chung
If the team wants to steer clear of a repeat of last season, getting Manoah ready and counting on him to shoulder a significant workload down the stretch could give the Blue Jays a crucial edge over other contenders.
