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.
Alek Manoah pitched a perfect eighth inning on Friday in his first appearance in the big leagues since 2024. The Angels, however, lost to Toronto, 2-0.
Fantasy Impact
Manoah was activated from the injured list on Wednesday by the Angels and pitched in his first major league game on Friday since May 29, 2024, as a member of the Blue Jays. Manoah needed just 11 pitches to retire Daulton Varsho on a pop to short, Ernie Clement on strikes, and Jesus Sanchez on a pop to second. It's unclear how Manoah will be used moving forward but, with Yusei Kikuchi on the injured list, the righthander may be in the mix to take his spot in the rotation in the short term. There's no need to make a mad dash to the waiver wire at the moment, but keep an eye on him as he was a 16-game winner with a 2.24 ERA back in 2022 with the Blue Jays.
