2025 Fantasy Outlook
Manoah has endured a miserable past couple seasons after he was a Cy Young finalist in the American League in 2022. His performance cratered in 2023 and he missed most of last season with a right elbow sprain, which required surgery in June. He was able to go the internal brace route instead of traditional Tommy John surgery, but he's still expected to miss a sizable chunk of next season. It's rare that we see a player fall off to this degree after reaching such heights, but the book is not closed on Manoah. He pitched much better in his limited time on the field in 2024 and posted on social media that he began a throwing program in early December. If he stays on track in his recovery, Manoah could factor into the rotation mix for the Blue Jays in the second half. Read Past Outlooks
Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Blue Jays transferred Manoah (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Easton Lucas. Manoah will be sidelined until around the middle of next season after having a hybrid internal brace procedure to repair the sprained UCL in his right elbow back in June.

2020
Last year was an absolute nightmare for Manoah. After compiling a stellar 2.60 ERA and 307:91 K:BB over his first 308.1 major-league innings between 2021-22, the burly right-hander sunk to a 5.87 ERA and 79:59 K:BB across 87.1 innings in 2023 and was even demoted to the minors on two different occasions. He received injections for discomfort in his right arm toward the end of the year, which is about the only thing to point to for how he suddenly lost his fastball and slider command. Manoah, 26, might be the riskiest bet on the board this winter -- pitcher or hitter -- given the wide range of where he'll be selected from draft to draft and the wide range of possible outcomes for his 2024 stat line. We've seen what the fantasy ceiling looks like and how valuable Manoah can be as a front-line starter on a good Blue Jays team, but we also now have an unfortunate taste of his rather frightening floor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to be traded
The Blue Jays have been telling inquiring teams that they have no intention of trading Manoah, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Manoah had a disastrous 2023 season that ended with some shoulder issue, and his relationship with the Jays reportedly soured over how some things were handled, leading to trade speculation. However, Morosi says the right-hander's offseason workouts have gone well and Manoah is expected to be part of Toronto's Opening Day rotation. Manoah turned just 26 last month and his fantasy stock could rise if he looks good this spring.
