Alek Manoah Designated for Assignment by Blue Jays Amid Tommy John Recovery

Former Cy Young candidate Alek Manoah was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, September 24, 2025. This significant move comes as Manoah is actively working his way back from Tommy John surgery. The decision by the Blue Jays to cut ties with the pitcher suggests that another team may consider giving him an opportunity as he continues his rehabilitation and aims for a return to the mound.
