Manoah signed a one-year, $1.95 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Manoah missed the majority of the 2025 season while working his way back from an elbow procedure he underwent in June 2024. Once healthy, the 27-year-old righty remained with the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate, where he turned in a 2.97 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 33.1 innings over seven starts. Now with the Halos, he'll have a much greater chance of returning to the majors in 2026, as the Angels' rotation finished last in the American League with a 4.91 ERA this past season.

Manoah was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday. Manoah ended the 2025 campaign as a member of Atlanta's organization after being designated for assignment by Toronto in late September. He spent the majority of this past season recovering from UCL surgery on his right elbow that he underwent in June of 2024, and he was cleared to make his first rehab start in July. Manoah was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to being let go by the Blue Jays, so if he does catch on with a team for 2026, he'll have an opportunity to make his case for a spot on an Opening Day roster during spring training.

Atlanta claimed Manoah off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday and optioned him to its spring training complex. Manoah was somewhat surprisingly designated for assignment by Toronto earlier this week and Atlanta has decided to roll the dice on the 27-year-old. The righty has been limited to just 10 rehab starts in 2025 after coming back from Tommy John surgery, and he's posted a 3.96 ERA and 35:23 K:BB across 38.2 innings. Manoah hasn't had much success at the big-league level since 2022, when he held a 2.24 ERA over 31 starts. He's under team control through 2027 and will likely compete for a spot in the Atlanta rotation next season.

The Blue Jays designated Manoah for assignment Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports. The former Cy Young contender is now without a 40-man roster spot in a move to clear space for the activation of Anthony Santander (shoulder) on Tuesday. Manoah made two starts with Triple-A Buffalo after being reinstated Sept. 11. In the first start Sept. 12, he allowed three earned runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and a walk across 5.1 innings. In the second start Sept. 18, the 27-year-old did not allow a run on one hit with four strikeouts and five walks across 4.2 innings.

The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. The Blue Jays have five starters that are healthy in their rotation as of Thursday, and Manoah will not be joining them as a sixth man at this time. If he does not rejoin the big-league club in 2025, he should have a path back into the rotation in 2026 with Shane Bieber holding a player option while Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are set to become free agents. Manoah had a 3.09 ERA with a 18:12 K:BB in 23.1 innings across five games for Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment, which is where he is set to continue to pitch. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated Orelvis Martinez (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.
