Manoah allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two across three innings in a rehab outing with Double-A New Hampshire on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manoah has been pitching in a combination of rehab outings and simulated games across the last three weeks. While the numbers aren't overwhelmingly positive, Thursday's appearance marked Manoah's longest both in terms of outs recorded and pitches thrown (64). It's unclear how many more rehab starts he'll need, but Manoah could be activated as early as late August.

Manoah (elbow) completed a 45-pitch, three-inning simulated game Saturday and is scheduled to make his third rehab start later this week with Single-A Dunedin, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Manoah made rehab starts with the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate July 14 and with Dunedin on July 20, Toronto opted to have the right-hander pitch in a controlled setting over the weekend. He was able to build up his pitch count during the sim game and flashed a fastball that topped out at around 95 miles per hour, so Manoah seems to be in a good spot as he works his way back from the internal brace procedure he underwent last June. Manoah will throw a bullpen session Tuesday before making his next start with Dunedin, and if all goes well in that outing, he'll shift his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate next week. Manoah appears to be tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list around mid-to-late August, but the Blue Jays may not have a rotation spot available for him once he's activated.

Manoah (elbow) will pitch a simulated game Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Single-A Dunedin is on the road Saturday, so the Blue Jays are opting for a simulated game in which they can control Manoah's pitch count instead. The right-hander should be ready to return to full capacity by the end of August or early September.

Manoah (elbow) gave up one run on three hits over two innings for Single-A Dunedin on Sunday. He struck out two without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
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 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 IL, but at the moment there isn't a spot for him in the big-league rotation, and the team may well have added further depth at the trade deadline before he's ready to return.

Manoah (elbow) will make a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Dunedin, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander surrendered four runs (three earned) while recording just one out during his first rehab outing Monday, and he'll attempt to ramp up his workload this weekend. Manoah will likely need at least a couple additional starts in the minors after Sunday before being considered for activation.

Manoah (elbow) allowed four runs (three earned) on one hit and two walks while recording just one out in his first rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Manoah also hit a batter and was charged with a wild pitch while spotting just 10 of 22 pitches for strikes in the outing. The performance was a discouraging one as the big righty works his way back from internal brace surgery, but Manoah and the Blue Jays aren't necessarily worried about results at this early stage of his rehab assignment. He'll need to complete multiple rehab starts before warranting consideration for a spot in Toronto's rotation by early August.

Manoah (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manoah has been on the shelf all year while working his way back from June 2024 Tommy John surgery, and he now seems to be nearing the home stretch of his recovery. The goal is for him to pitch two innings in rookie ball during his return to competition, and the Jays plan to build him up over the course of five or six minor-league starts. Assuming he sticks to a traditional four-day rest period between starts and doesn't suffer any setbacks, he'll likely be cleared to return from the IL in early August.

Manoah (elbow) is expected to throw a live BP session Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manoah will throw a two-up live batting practice session, meaning that he'll essentially toss two innings of simulated action. The right-hander has been out for the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from a right elbow procedure he underwent in June 2024. Manoah is expected to require a multi-start minor-league rehab assignment, which could begin as soon as next week.

Manoah (elbow) could begin a minor-league rehab stint after throwing one more live bullpen session, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manoah began facing live hitters in early June and tossed two simulated innings July 1. He appears close to kicking off a rehab assignment in the minors, which would presumably span several weeks since the right-hander hasn't yet seen game action this season. Early August seems like the most likely timeframe for Manoah to be activated from the 60-day IL.

Manoah (elbow) is set to throw two innings in a bullpen session Tuesday at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 25 pitches in a one-inning session June 24, but next Tuesday's session will be the first time he's been asked to handle multiple up-downs. Manoah could begin a rehab assignment afterward as he enters the final stage of his recovery from last June's internal brace procedure on his right elbow, which would likely have him on schedule to be a rotation option for Toronto some time in August.
