As the Toronto Blue Jays switched to the fifth starter system, Alec Manoa (25) was sent down to Triple-A.
Major League Baseball (MLB) Toronto moved Manoa to Triple-A Buffalo on the 12th (Korea Standard Time). “Right-hander Relief Heigen Daener was registered in the absence of Manoa,” he said.
Toronto is operating a six-man starting rotation during the “17 consecutive games of death” that began on July 29. The 17th 메이저사이트 consecutive game will end after the Chicago Cubs match on the 14th when Ryu Hyun-jin starts. The move of Manoa to the minor leagues while organizing the starting rotation to five players again means Ryu Hyun-jin’s stay as a starter.
Manoa, who played as an ace with 16 wins, 7 losses and a 2.24 ERA in 31 games last season, is a pitcher who played a heavy role in starting the opening game this season. But this year was not good. Manoa, who had been surviving in the starting rotation, was notified of the minor leagues in June after injuries and sluggishness.
He expected to return to the big leagues in July and add strength to the Toronto mound, but it was not very good. He was disappointed with 3 wins, 9 losses and a 5.87 ERA in 19 games this season. In the match against Cleveland on the 11th, he was forced to give up four runs in four runs in four innings.
Toronto coaches could no longer sit idle as walks increased due to lack of control. Head coach Joe Schneider said on MLB.com , “If there are many walks and the number of pitches increases, the starting pitcher cannot hold out, and the team cannot win.” “We need time to reorganize,” he explained the background of the minor league notification.
Manoa is missing, but there is no big problem with the Toronto starting rotation that Ryu Hyun-jin joined. With Kevin Gausman in good shape, Chris Basit-Hose Berrios’ performance is also good. Japanese pitcher Yusei Kikuchi is playing more than his role, and Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned from injury, is smoothly entering the main track.
Ryu Hyun-jin underwent elbow ligament surgery in June last year and rehabilitated for more than a year before taking the mound in the big league on the 2nd. Ryu Hyun-jin recorded nine hits (one home run) and four runs in five innings in his return match against Baltimore, which has been reborn as a strong team this season. It was not a bad performance for a comeback match against a strong team. Above all, it is a great harvest to announce that there is no problem with the body after holding out five innings.
In the game against Cleveland on the 8th, which was his second appearance, he was replaced by a ball in his knee, but he showed a powerful pitch that gave up only one walk without a hit, shaking off the power of his main weapon change-up in four innings. The area hit by the ball also recovers quickly. I was worried about entering the dugout with the help of the coach and trainer, but fortunately, the swelling began to decrease from the next day due to a simple bruise.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who was recognized by the coaching staff for both physical condition and ball power after returning from injury, will make his third start of the season against the Chicago Cubs on the 14th.
