Alek Manoah - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Strong in second spring outing Manoah tossed three scoreless innings in a Cactus League game against Arizona on Saturday, allowing four hits and issuing one walk while striking out one batter.

Impact Manoah got into some trouble in the second inning by allowing three baserunners (on a pair of singles and one walk), but he got through the frame with the help of a double play and a caught-stealing. The right-hander averaged 92 mph on his fastball, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, which is slightly down from the 93.4 mph he averaged the last time he threw in the majors (in 2024 with Toronto). Nonetheless, Manoah's bid for a rotation spot has gone fairly well so far -- through two spring appearances, he's tossed five scoreless frames despite a 1:3 K:BB.

Flashes uptick in velocity Manoah walked two batters and didn't allow a run over two innings during Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Manoah looked solid in his first start this spring and managed to work around a pair of walks by inducing two double plays. The right hander's fastball was clocked between 93-to-94 mph in the first inning, which is a substantial uptick after he was sitting between 89-92 mph last September in the minor leagues, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Manoah's velocity dipped a bit in the second inning, as his fastball sat around 91-92, but it was still a successful spring debut for the 28-year-old, who will need to impress in camp to earn a spot in the Angels' rotation.

Needs to work for rotation spot Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said Tuesday that Manoah will have to earn his place in the starting rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old joined the Halos on a one-year, $1.95 million contract in December, but he was never likely to have much in the form of guaranteed playing time after spending most of 2025 rehabbing from UCL surgery. Manoah should still be the favorite to win a job at the back end of Anaheim's rotation given the club's other starting options.

Lands in Anaheim Manoah signed a one-year, $1.95 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Manoah missed the majority of the 2025 season while working his way back from an elbow procedure he underwent in June 2024. Once healthy, the 27-year-old righty remained with the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate, where he turned in a 2.97 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 33.1 innings over seven starts. Now with the Halos, he'll have a much greater chance of returning to the majors in 2026, as the Angels' rotation finished last in the American League with a 4.91 ERA this past season.

Let go by Atlanta Manoah was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday.

Impact Manoah ended the 2025 campaign as a member of Atlanta's organization after being designated for assignment by Toronto in late September. He spent the majority of this past season recovering from UCL surgery on his right elbow that he underwent in June of 2024, and he was cleared to make his first rehab start in July. Manoah was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to being let go by the Blue Jays, so if he does catch on with a team for 2026, he'll have an opportunity to make his case for a spot on an Opening Day roster during spring training.
