Garrett Whitlock - Bound for IL but injury not seriousWhitlock is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list, but his right elbow injury isn't considered serious, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

ImpactWhitlock had to be removed from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays due to tightness in his pitching elbow. While the results of an MRI have not yet been revealed, McAdam hears that the injury "is not being considered a major setback." Theoretically, Whitlock could miss only one start with the All-Star break coming up, although it's not clear at this point whether he will be ready to go when his 15 days are up or close to it. The good news is that it appears he's avoided a long-term injury.

Kevin Kiermaier - Steals ninth bagKiermaier went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

ImpactAfter missing four games during the week due to back spasms, Kiermaier returned to the lineup Saturday and drew a walk before stealing his ninth base of the season Sunday. It's an encouraging sign as far as his health goes, but the veteran outfielder hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 5, slashing just .163/.265/.233 in the 19 games since.

Alek Manoah - Fans 10 in Double-A startManoah struck out 10 and gave up one run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a start for Double-A New Hampshire on Sunday.

ImpactWhile this performance was a huge leap forward from his last outing in the Florida Complex League, there were still signs Manoah isn't yet ready to rejoin the Blue Jays rotation. The right-hander threw only 47 of 82 pitches for strikes, and the organization will likely want to see better efficiency from him before considering his reset a success. Per Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic, Manoah was sitting 93-94 mph with his fastball and topped out at 95 mph, a step up from the 92.8 mph he averaged through his first 13 big-league starts this year -- just one of the factors that led to a brutal 6.36 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 2.1 percent K%-BB%. The Jays have yet to announce when, or at which level, he will make his next start.
