Alek Manoah received positive news from the MRI done after he experience some soreness following a Friday bullpen session.

Manager John Schneider, speaking to reporters on Saturday, said the tests showed “no structural concern at all.”

The decision to get an MRI was done out of an abundance of concern, especially following the right hander’s turbulent 2023 season — that saw optioned to the minors twice — and poor start to spring training.

Last season, the 26 year old went 3-9 with a 5.87 ERA in 19 starts.

On Tuesday, Manoah hit three batters in 1 2/3 innings in his first start. Out of 38 pitches, Manoah only threw 17 strikes.

“Didn’t really bounce back the way he wanted to after his start, so we’re kind of just taking it day to day right now,” Schneider said via ESPN. “He was throwing and kind of just said ‘Eh, it feels a little bit cranky,’ and just wanted to be extra careful at this point in camp.”
