PT TOMORROW: AL East — Could Pearson solve TOR’s Manoah miasma?

Toronto Blue Jays

OK, seriously. What are the Blue Jays going to do about Alek Manoah (RHP, TOR)?

Manoah’s season to forget hit a new low June 5. He only recorded a single out while giving up six earned runs on seven hits against the Astros.
