The Toronto Blue Jays announced yesterday that starting pitcher Alek Manoah will head to the 10-day injured list after slipping in the dugout at Sahlen Field and landing on his back. The club is hopeful the right-hander will miss only the one game as his injury has been retroactively moved to July 16th, meaning he could return by next Monday at the earliest.
