- On Friday, former Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah returned to Rogers Centre as a member of the Los Angeles Angels, pitching the ninth inning in a 2-0 loss during his first major league appearance since June 2024.

- Manoah spent about seven weeks on the injured list this spring after dropping a weight on his finger while doing arm care in January, eventually losing the nail. He said, "I'm just glad that I got a little nub back and it's all behind me."
- Blue Jays manager John Schneider said, "He did a lot of really good things for us. So I'm glad that he's back healthy." Manoah emphasized his fresh start, stating, "Any time you switch teams, it's kind of a new start.
