AL-best Blue Jays activate slugger Anthony Santander and cut former All-Star RHP Alek Manoah
The Toronto Blue Jays have activated slugger Anthony Santander off the 60-day injured listSEPTEMBER 23 • Associated Press
ALEK MANOAH
Booted from 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Manoah for assignment Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Impact The once former Cy Young contender is now without a 40-man roster spot in a move to clear space for the activation of Anthony Santander on Tuesday. Manoah made two starts with Triple-A Buffalo after being reinstated Sept. 11. In the first start Sept. 12, he allowed three earned runs on four hits with an 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings. In the second start Sept 18, the 27-year-old did not allow a run on one hit with a 4:5 K:BB through 4.2 innings.

Stuck in Triple-A The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.
Impact The Blue Jays have five starters that are healthy in their rotation as of Thursday and Manoah will not be joining them as a sixth man at this time. If he does not rejoin the big-league club in 2025, he should have a path back into the rotation in 2026 with Shane Bieber holding a player option while Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are set to become free agents. Manoah had a 3.09 ERA with a 18:12 K:BB in 23.1 inning across five games for Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment, which is where he is set to continue to pitch. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated Orelvis Martinez for assignment Thursday.

Builds up to 85 pitches Manoah (elbow) worked 5.1 innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, allowing three unearned runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out five.
Impact The 27-year-old right-hander tossed 50 of 85 pitches for strikes, so at least in terms of workload Manoah appears ready to come off the injured list. Over three starts for Buffalo however, his 3.09 ERA in 11.2 innings isn't supported by his 1.61 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB. The Blue Jays don't have room in their rotation for Manoah even if he were pitching well, so if he does get activated and added to the big-league roster, he would likely be returning to a low-leverage long relief role.

Rehab stint extended Toronto has extended Manoah's (elbow) minor-league rehab assignment by an extra 10 days, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Manoah's initial 30-day rehab stint came to a close, but the right-handed hurler isn't yet ready to be activated. The Blue Jays have thus elected to use one of a potential three 10-day extensions available for pitchers coming back from Tommy John surgery per the collective bargaining agreement. Manoah has struggled during his rehab assignment to this point, posting a 7.71 ERA, 2.06 WHIP and 10:10 K:BB over 11.2 innings spanning five starts, though his most recent performance was his best -- he allowed one run over 4.2 frames with four strikeouts Wednesday with Triple-A Buffalo. Nicholson-Smith indicates that Manoah will throw a side session this weekend and is slated for another start with Buffalo early next week.
