Alek Manoah - Will miss at least two turns Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Thursday that Manoah will be away from the club for at least two turns through the rotation, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact In all likelihood, it's going to be many more turns than that. Manoah is headed to the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Thursday as he begins the process of trying to get back on track. The club will be working with the right-hander on his delivery and other things before he eventually returns to game action.

Daulton Varsho - Getting day off Varsho is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

Impact With left-hander Framber Valdez toeing the rubber for the Astros, it's probably a good day to give Varsho some rest. He's managed just a .571 OPS against left-handed pitching this season. Whit Merrifield will move out to left field while Santiago Espinal handles second base.
