Mountaineer Alek Manoah still striving to reclailm his good stuff

Within the past couple of days, two former West Virginia University pitchers made returns to the major leagues after battling injuries with results as divergent as their pitching styles. A day later, Alek Manoah returned for Toronto for his first appearance on a major league mound since last August 10 when he was shut down after lasting only four innings against Cleveland. Manoah was ailing with shoulder problems after becoming one of the great stories in the major leagues, a first-round pick out of West Virginia who broke in as a rookie with a 9-2 record that included a 3.22 ERA while allowing only 77 hits in 111.2 innings while striking out 127.
