The Toronto Blue Jays scratched right-hander Alek Manoah from his scheduled start in the opener of Tuesday’s doubleheader with the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.
Manoah woke up with a stomach bug but was getting treatment and could be available for the nightcap, interim manager John Schneider told reporters.
Right-hander Julian Merryweather (0-2, 5.48 ERA) will take Manoah’s spot in Game 1 opposite Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (7-4, 2.54 ERA).
Manoah, 24, is 14-7 with a 2.42 ERA in 27 starts this season. The first-time All-Star has struck out 158 batters in 171 innings.
