Alek Manoah Injury: Building up for August

Manoah (elbow) will pitch a simulated game Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Single-A Dunedin is on the road Saturday, so the Blue Jays are opting to have Manoah face live hitters in a controlled setting at their spring training complex. After Saturday's sim game, the right-hander should resume his rehab assignment next week with Dunedin or a different affiliate. He appears to be tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list by late August.
