Alek Manoah‘s journey back to MLB continued with a solid showing on Sunday in Dunedin, Fla.
Manoah tossed two innings for the single-A Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits with two strikeouts.
He threw 16 of his 28 pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter, sitting around 93 m.p.h. with his sinker.
Also appearing for Dunedin was outfielder Daulton Varsho, who launched a three-run home run. Varsho has been on the injured list since June 1 due to a hamstring ailment.
Manoah underwent UCL reconstruction last season after a five-game return to the big leagues in which he posted a 3.70 ERA over 24.1 innings.
His 30-day rehab clock began with Monday’s outing, meaning he could return to the MLB club in mid-to-late August.
Manoah, 27, finished as a Cy Young Award runner-up in 2022 before struggling through 2023, where he shuttled between the minors and majors.
Since his dominant 2022 season, Manoah has thrown only 111.2 innings for the Blue Jays, holding a 5.40 ERA.
