Blue Jays Provide Injury Update to All-Star Pitcher Alek Manoah on Monday<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Toronto Blue Jays continue to defend their top spot in the AL East, they were given some positive news on former All-Star pitcher Alek Manoah.<\/p>\n

After undergoing Tommy John surgery for an elbow injury he sustained in a start against the Chicago White Sox back in May of 2024, Blue Jays insider Keegan Matheson reported that the 27-year-old has a chance of drawing his first rehab start in the coming days.<\/p>\n

“Alek Manoah is throwing to live hitters again tomorrow in Florida, simulating two innings. [John] Schneider says that after tomorrow, he’ll either throw one more live session to his own hitters or move into his first rehab game. From there, a Spring Training-style ramp-up,” Matheson posted to X.<\/p>\n

If Alek Manoah is able to return to his All-Star potential that Toronto saw from him in 2022, his presence in the pitching staff would only be great for the Blue Jays moving forward.<\/p>\n

It seems as if Manoah is on pace for the Blue Jays’ initial return timetable for him that is set for August, barring any setbacks in the rehab process.<\/p>\n

Before going down with his elbow injury early last season, Manoah was on pace for another solid season. Through five starts in 2024, Manoah had a 1-2 record, 3.70 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and tallied 26 strikeouts in 24.1 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

However his best season came in 2022, when he finished with a 16-7 record, 2.24 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and had 180 strikeouts in 196.2 innings pitched. Earning an All-Star bid in just his second season in the league.<\/p>\n

With an MLB-leading eight-game win streak entering a series in which they travel to Chicago to take on the White Sox, the Blue Jays have been the hottest team in baseball in the month of July.<\/p>\n

Toronto swept the then-AL East-leading New York Yankees to take over first place in the division, following that up with a three-game sweep over the Los Angeles Angels to begin the month.<\/p>\n
