Manoah was moved from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day list. He had a procedure in June to repair a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and isn’t expected back until the middle of the 2025 season.
The Jays announced the moves hours before starting a seven-game homestand Monday night against the Cincinnati Reds.
