The Blue Jays’ first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2019 draft, Manoah has given up just one run in three starts (18 innings) this year after not pitching last season with the minor leagues cancelled because of COVID-19. He has struck out 27 and walked three.
Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said last week that the team has been talking about the possibility of giving Manoah a shot in the big leagues.
The Blue Jays have had battled injury problems with their pitching staff this season. Struggling right-hander Ross Stripling was pulled in the fourth inning Wednesday night in Boston after giving up six runs on eight hits.
