Kevin Gausman pitched a two-hitter for his fourth career complete game, Davis Schneider homered and drove in two and the Blue Jays beat the struggling Astros. AL East-leading Toronto improved to 47-25 at home and 63-4 when scoring five or more. <\/p>\n
The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> made a pair of roster moves following their 6-0 victory over the Houston Astros<\/a> on Thursday. <\/p>\n The team reinstated pitcher Alek Manoah<\/a> and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo, and designated infielder Orelvis Martinez<\/a> for assignment.<\/p>\n Martinez, 23, was ranked among the top 100 prospects across major league baseball per MLB Pipeline in 2021, \u201822 and \u201824.<\/p>\n The infielder was called up to the major league club in 2024, where he went 1-for-3 before he was suspended 80 games for a failed drug test.<\/p>\n Since returning to the minors, Martinez has struggled mightily at the plate and in the field – he hit .176 in 99 games with the Buffalo Bisons this season.<\/p>\n Manoah was officially reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A. The towering righty last pitched in the majors in June of 2024, and his reinstatement marks the conclusion of an extended recovery from elbow surgery last summer.<\/p>\n In 75 career MLB games, Manoah has a 3.34 earned-run average with 412 strikeouts in 420 innings pitched. The 27-year-old finished third in American League Cy Young voting in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Gausman pitched a two-hitter for his fourth career complete game, Davis Schneider homered and drove in two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[44383,49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-137187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-alek-manoah","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
