Toronto Blue Jays send struggling right-hander Alek Manoah down to minors

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are sending right-hander Alek Manoah down to the minors after his latest disappointing start.

Manoah gave up six earned runs in just one-third of an inning in Monday’s 11-4 loss to the Houston Astros at Rogers Centre.

He was a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award last season but has struggled mightily over the first two months of the 2023 season.

Manoah hasn’t won a game in over two months.
