TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Alek Manoah on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right elbow sprain.
He was removed in the second inning of Wednesday’s 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox after experiencing discomfort in his throwing arm.
The move to the IL was retroactive to Thursday.
Manoah, who has a 1-2 record and 3.70 earned-run average over five starts, missed the first five weeks of the season due to right shoulder inflammation.
