Overview

  • The team said on X that Alek Manoah was reinstated from the injured list and Sam Aldegheri was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake.
  • Manoah is expected to take the open rotation spot, with reports pointing to a likely May 11 debut against the Guardians.
  • He has not pitched in a regular season game for Los Angeles after a right middle finger injury from a March 17 outing.
  • The Angels are 14-23 and last in the AL West, and injuries such as Yusei Kikuchi’s shoulder issue have thinned the staff.
  • Manoah, an All-Star in 2022 with Toronto, joined on a one-year deal after a late-2025 DFA and brief Atlanta stint.
