Alek Manoah Injury: Sharper in second rehab start

Manoah (elbow) gave up one earned run on three hits over two innings in a rehab start for Single-A Dunedin on Sunday. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The right-hander tossed 28 pitches (16 strikes) in his second rehab outing as he enters the final stretch of his recovery from an internal brace procedure, which was performed last June. Per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Manoah will need at least three more rehab starts before the Blue Jays will consider activating him from the 60-day injured list, but at the moment, the big club doesn't have a spot available for him in the rotation.
