When Alek Manoah is healthy, he's capable of not just being an effective major-league pitcher, but a showman. This is what the Toronto Blue Jays want back in their dugout, and as Manoah enters the final months of his rehab, it's getting easier to imagine that again.
The Blue Jays have yet to have a fully healthy roster, especially when it comes to their pitchers which is why the team is excited to get Manoah back since it would give them a full starting rotation for the first time since Opening Day weekend.
Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah speaks on his current state but seems to have forgotten about his past
Manoah has had a tough time over the last couple years as 2024 was rough due to injuries and lack of innings pitched with a lot of inconsistencies on the mound while 2023 was a complete disaster as he finished with a 5.87 ERA.
The 27-year old stated in a recent interview that he has been able to improve his mechanics a lot during his bullpen sessions while mentioning that his goal is to build an indestructible base with hopes of returning towards the end of the season.
Alek Manoah was in great spirits here in Tampa and continues to throw bullpens, targeting a return to help the #BlueJays down the stretch.
Manoah says he understands his delivery much better now and wants to build «an indestructible base»
«I want to be healthy. I want to be great.»

Manoah's confidence is definitely great for the Blue Jays since he seems eager to get back on the mound but at the same time it also seems a bit out of place since Manoah has not been dominant since 2022.
Toronto ideally needs Manoah to return to the pitcher he was back in 2022 but after a major surgery such as Tommy John, it will be a long road back.
The Manoah situation seems to be that the fan base is hoping for the best in his return but expecting the worst.
