Outrighted to Triple-A The Angels outrighted Manoah to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Manoah was already optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, but the Angels evidently put Manoah on waivers before outrighting him, thus opening a spot on the big club's 40-man roster. He appeared in three games for the Angels but got rocked in his last outing against the Dodgers on Saturday, when he gave up nine runs (eight earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two in 1.1 innings.

Sent to Triple-A The Angels optioned Manoah to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was reinstated from the injured list May 6 and will now head to the minors after giving up eight earned runs with a 5:8 K:BB in three appearances (7.1 innings.). Manoah was unscored upon in his first two outings but struggled mightily in Saturday's contest. He's being demoted to make room on the big-league roster for Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder), who is coming off the IL to start Sunday's game versus the Dodgers.

Tosses five bulk-relief frames Manoah allowed two hits and walked five batters while striking out two over five scoreless innings in relief against Cleveland on Monday.

Impact The Angels had Brent Suter open the contest and deployed two other pitchers before turning the ball over to Manoah in the fourth frame. Manoah went the rest of the way, tossing 91 pitches across five innings. The right-hander struggled with his control, issuing five walks and throwing 47 strikes to 44 balls, but he yielded just two hits and managed to keep the Guardians out of the scoring column. Manoah has tossed six scoreless innings across his first two appearances for the Angels after missing over a month to begin the season due to a finger issue. It remains to be seen if he'll keep working behind an opener or move into a traditional starting role, but given his pitch count and results Monday, it seems likely he'll continue to be part of the team's rotation plans.

Expected to follow opener Monday Manoah will follow an opener and operate as the Angels' bulk pitcher Monday against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Manoah will appear in his second major-league contest of the year, and he'll likely get a chance to be a little more stretched out this time around. The right-hander pitched a perfect inning Friday against the Blue Jays, recording a strikeout while throwing seven of his 11 total pitches for strikes. The Angels haven't announced who will open the game on the mound versus Cleveland, but southpaw Brent Suter is a logical candidate.

Logs first MLB outing since 2024 Manoah tossed a perfect inning, striking out one batter in relief versus Toronto on Friday.

Impact Manoah began his career with Toronto and remained with the organization until September of last year. The right-hander didn't make it to the majors in 2025, as all of his pitching came in the minors while he worked his way back from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow that he underwent in June of 2024. Manoah was signed by the Angels this past December but lost a fingernail on his pitching hand in mid-March and began the season on the IL. He finally made his Angels debut Friday and looked good, throwing seven of 11 pitches for strikes without allowing any baserunners in an uneventful eighth inning. It was Manoah's first career regular-season MLB relief appearance after working as a starter in all 75 of his previous outings. It's not yet clear if the Angels plan to keep him in the bullpen or if he'll get a chance to enter the rotation at some point.

Activated from injured list The Angels activated Manoah (finger) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Manoah has been out all season after losing a fingernail following his last Cactus League outing. The right-hander struggled in his lone rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, yielding six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 frames. It's unclear what the Angels' plans are for Manoah's role, but they have an opening in the rotation after Sam Aldegheri was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact Saturday marked Manoah's first game action since he lost a fingernail following a Cactus League start March 17. The right-hander had a rough spring prior to the injury and didn't fare any better in his initial rehab outing, so he'll likely need to show improvement in order to eventually claim a spot in the big-league rotation. Manoah did manage to toss 87 pitches in Saturday's start, so from a workload standpoint he seems pretty close to being fully ramped up.
