Alek Manoah back in majors as Jays take on Nationals

Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah will make his 2024 major league debut when the visiting Blue Jays go for a series win against the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon. Washington rallied for a 9-3 win on Friday night before Toronto scored four runs in the first inning on Saturday and held on for a 6-3 victory. The 26-year-old Manoah, who has been rehabbing from a bout of right shoulder inflammation, will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to make the start on Sunday. Manoah was selected by Toronto in the first round (11th overall) of the 2019 draft.
