The Los Angeles Angels have released right-handed pitcher Alek Manoah after a disappointing season, highlighted by a 1-7 record and a 15.43 ERA across triple-A and single-A. The 28-year-old had a brief major league return with a 9.82 ERA in three appearances after being demoted to the minors. Manoah’s struggles follow a history of arm injuries and control issues, leading to multiple demotions while with the Toronto Blue Jays earlier in 2023. His release marks a significant step in addressing his ongoing performance challenges.
