NEW YORK – The Toronto Blue Jays selected pitcher Alek Manoah to the active roster ahead of his start against the New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon.
Manoah, a six-foot-six 260-pound right-hander, is one of the team’s top prospects.
Drafted 11th overall in 2019, he posted a 0.50 earned-run average with 27 strikeouts and three walks over three starts with triple-A Buffalo.
Manoah’s big-league debut will come in the opener of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. He was originally scheduled to pitch Wednesday night but the game was postponed due to weather.
New York will counter with right-hander Domingo German.
“His energy today is as good as it was yesterday,” Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said in a pre-game video call with reporters. “He’s very confident. That’s what I really like about him.”
Robbie Ray was scheduled to start the nightcap for the Blue Jays against fellow southpaw Jordan Montgomery.
Also Thursday, the Blue Jays placed left-hander Travis Bergen on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement (retroactive to Monday).
Left-hander Tommy Milone was transferred to the 60-day injured list (shoulder) and left-hander Anthony Kay (blister) was placed on the 10-day injured list. .
