The Atlanta Braves<\/a> on Friday claimed right-hander Alek Manoah<\/a>, the former Cy Young contender whose struggles with the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> led to him being designated for assignment earlier this week.<\/p>\n

After going 9-2 as a rookie in 2021, Manoah went 16-7 with a 2.24 ERA in 2022, finishing third in AL Cy Young voting.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s opening day starter in 2023, Manoah was demoted to the rookie-level Florida Complex League that June after going 1-7 with a 6.36 ERA. Manoah went 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA in seven starts after rejoining the big league roster that July, then didn’t pitch again at any level after being optioned to Triple-A in August.<\/p>\n

Last year, Manoah went 1-2 with a 3.70 ERA over five starts spanning 24\u2153 innings before season-ending surgery on his elbow.<\/p>\n

Manoah most recently had been pitching at Triple-A Buffalo while rehabbing his elbow. He went 1-1 with a 2.97 ERA in seven starts for the Bisons. Six of the 27 hits he allowed were home runs.<\/p>\n

To make room on its 40-man roster, Atlanta transferred infielder Ozzie Albies<\/a> to the 60-day injured list. Albies was diagnosed with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand earlier this week.<\/p>\n
