Availability
The Los Angeles Angels released Alek Manoah on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Manoah missed some time with an injury this season and made just three appearances at the MLB level for the Angels. The right-hander has not pitched over 25 innings in the big leagues since the 2023 season.
The Angels sent Alek Manoah outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Fantasy Impact
Manoah passed through waivers unclaimed. He will remain in the Angels organization.
The Angels optioned Alek Manoah to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Fantasy Impact
Manoah was rocked on Saturday for nine runs (eight earned) over 1 1/3 innings in a relief appearance against the Dodgers. He'll return to Triple-A.
Alek Manoah pitched five scoreless innings in a bulk relief role on Monday during the Angels' 7-2 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
It was, by no means, a perfect outing for Manoah as he walked five batters and struck out only two in his five innings. The righthander allowed only two hits, but needed 91 pitches to get through five frames and the five walks tied for the third-most he's allowed in a game in his career. Manoah has pitched six scoreless innings in his first two outings of the season, but does have a 3:5 K:BB ratio. Outside of Jose Soriano, the Angels' starting rotation has been inconsistent so, Monday's promising outing by Manoah may have earned him a spot in the starting five for the short term.
Alek Manoah will make a bulk relief appearance on Monday against the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Manoah pitched a perfect eighth inning on Friday in his first appearance in the big leagues since 2024 earlier this week. He will pitch behind an opener on Monday.
