Manoa was demoted back to the minor leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays sent Alec Manoa to Triple-A with a minor league option.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s return led to Manoa’s re-demotion. Toronto is on a 17-game schedule from July 29 to August 14. Ryu Hyun-jin’s return from injury also took place during the 17-game series, and Toronto maintained a six-man starting rotation during the forced march schedule.
Entering the final series of the 17-game series, Toronto returned to the five-man starting rotation except manoa. Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios, Chris Basit, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Yusei Kikuchi are indispensable players in the big league roster. If any of the six starting pitchers had to be eliminated, Manoa, who already had an option this season, was the most likely candidate.
Manoa’s failure to make a dramatic rebound also contributed to this. Manoa, who started the Toronto opening game this season, started 13 games until early June with a 1 win, 7 losses, and a 6.36 ERA, and was demoted to the minor leagues in early June. After that, Manoa returned in early July after a readjustment period.
Manoa, who started six games after his return, scored two wins and two losses and a 4.91 ERA, slightly better than before the relegation, but was far from the ace expected by the team, and scored one point in an away game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 11th.
According to MLB.com , director John Schneider said, “It was a difficult decision. Manoa was our team’s opening selection and unfortunate for everyone. There was a difficult conversation.”
