ALEK MANOAH NEWS

Quality start against ChiSox Manoah didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 2-1 win over the White Sox, giving up one run on five hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Making his return from the bereavement list, Manoah dueled Lance Lynn to a 1-1 standstill before exiting after 108 pitches (64 strikes). The rookie has seven quality starts in 13 trips to the mound to begin his big-league career, consistency that has led to a 3.18 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 78:25 K:BB through his first 68 innings for the Jays.

Returns from bereavement leave The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah (personal) from the bereavement list Sunday.

Impact Manoah was away from the Blue Jays for four days while tending to the personal matter, but because his last start came Tuesday and the team has had an off day since then, he didn't miss a turn through the rotation. The rookie right-hander is on track to start Monday's series opener versus the White Sox, and he'll line up for his second turn of the week Aug. 28 in Detroit.

Goes on bereavement list The Blue Jays placed Manoah on the bereavement list Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per MLB rules, a player must remain on the bereavement list for 3-to-7 days, but it's unclear if Manoah will require more than the minimum amount of time away from the team to tend to the personal matter. If Manoah rejoins Toronto by the start of next week, he would remain on track to make his next start Monday against the White Sox. After posting a 1.53 ERA over a stretch of six consecutive starts, Manoah faltered in Tuesday's 12-6 loss to the Nationals, serving up seven runs (six earned) on six hits and one walk while working a career-low three innings.

Stumbles against Nats Manoah (5-2) took the loss Tuesday, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk over three innings as the Blue Jays fell 12-6 to the Nationals. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie saw his three-game winning streak snapped as he stumbled through his worst outing to date in the majors. Manoah managed only 53 pitches (33 strikes) before getting the hook, but perhaps that's a good thing after he got pushed to 114 pitches last time out. The 23-year-old sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 73:22 K:BB through his first 12 big-league starts (62 innings).

Whiffs career-high 11 Manoah improved to 5-1 after striking out a career-high 11 and limiting the Angels to two runs on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in Wednesday's 10-2 win.

Impact The rookie has emerged victorious in three straight starts, posting a tidy 1.93 ERA over that span while benefiting from some generous run support. Because the Toronto bullpen had been overworked of late, manager Charlie Montoyo allowed Manoah to toss 114 pitches in the outing. Expect the Blue Jays to aim to keep Manoah closer to the 100-pitch mark in his future starts, but his stellar recent form should make him a must-play option in just about every fantasy league at this point.

Carried to fourth win by offense Manoah (4-1) picked up the win in Friday's 12-4 rout of the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

Impact The rookie wasn't terribly efficient and exited the game in line for a loss after tossing 93 pitches (56 strikes), but the Jays erupted for nine runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to put Manoah in the win column. It was the fifth straight outing in which he's given up two earned runs or less, and the 23-year-old will take a 2.58 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB through his first 52.1 big-league innings into his next start.
