While the Toronto Blue Jays have been in the midst of a playoff race, there has been uncertainty bubbling in the background about what's going on with Alek Manoah.
The 25-year-old was demoted to the minor leagues for the second time in 2023 on Aug. 11, but has yet to appear with the Buffalo Bisons. He did not report to Buffalo in a timely manner, which was initially reported as the result of extensive medical testing. But when he was put on the temporarily inactive list at Triple-A, questions began to arise about whether he was done pitching for the season.
