TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays optioned Alek Manoah to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, the second time this season that the 2022 Cy Young Award finalist has been sent to the minors.

Manoah (3-9) allowed four runs in four-plus innings in a loss at Cleveland on Thursday. He is 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA over seven starts since he returned July 7 from his first demotion.

Manoah has struggled since going 16-7 with a 2.24 ERA last season. He was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League in June to work on his mechanics after he opened this season 1-7 with a 6.36 ERA.

The Blue Jays, who are playing a three-game home series against the Chicago Cubs this weekend, recalled pitcher Hagen Danner from Buffalo to take Manoah's place on the roster.
