Alek Manoah set to make MLB return with Blue Jays on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah is set to make his return to the team and start on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Manoah, who struggled this season after a strong performance in 2022, was sent back to the complex for further development. After a rough start in the Florida Complex League, he showed improvement in Double-A, striking out 10 batters over five innings. The Blue Jays, in need of a starter, hope that Manoah's return will provide a much-needed spark for the team.
