Moves to injured list Manoah was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right back bruise.
Impact The young right-hander was slated to start Tuesday versus the Red Sox, but he recently suffered a back contusion and will require a stint on the injured list. Thomas Hatch and Anthony Kay are in the mix to fill Manoah's spot in the rotation. Manoah was still able to play catch Monday, so he may not be looking at a lengthy absence.

Could miss Tuesday's start Manoah recently suffered a back contusion and may miss his scheduled start against the Red Sox on Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Impact Manoah recently slipped on the dugout steps and landed on his back, so his next turn through the rotation is in jeopardy. While the right-hander was able to play catch Monday, manager Charlie Montoyo said that Thomas Hatch or Anthony Kay could be candidates to fill in if Manoah is unable to pitch.

Early exit in first loss Manoah (2-1) took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays fell 7-1 to the Rays, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out nine.
Impact The rookie flashed his dominance as nine of his 11 outs came via strikeout, but Manoah had trouble finding the zone regularly -- he threw 48 of 88 pitches for strikes before exiting -- and also plunked two more batters, giving him four HBP through his first 40.1 big-league innings. Despite a few bumpy outings, he'll take a 2.90 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 52:15 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Excellent against Rays Manoah (2-0) earned the win Friday against the Rays after tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk while fanning 10.
Impact The 10 strikeouts were a season-high mark for the 2019 first-round pick, who looked impressive in his first outing since serving a five-game suspension. However, it's worth noting he's now tossed two straight scoreless outings while allowing one earned run or fewer in four of his last five appearances. The sample size remains relatively small, but he owns a strong 2.70 ERA in his first seven outings as a big-leaguer. He's slated to pitch again next week on the road against the Orioles.
