Seven months ago, Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah finished third in voting for the American League Cy Young Award. Now, he’s heading back to the minors.
Toronto announced it’s sending its former ace to the Florida Complex League on Tuesday, one day after Manoah gave up six runs while recording just one out against the Astros. Through 13 starts, Manoah is 1-7 with a 6.36 ERA.
“It’s not a knee-jerk reaction,” manager John Schnedier said of the decision, per MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson.

Buffalo Bill safety Damar Hamlin is leading an incredible comeback.
Just months after nearly dying on the field, Hamlin has put on football pads as a full participant at Bills practice. Hamlin showed out Tuesday in complete gear for his first full day of drills this offseason. His career appeared in jeopardy after suffering an on-field cardiac arrest in early January, requiring CPR to be revived after his heart stopped.

Few expected Hamlin to make such a swift recovery.
There’s a common term among the fantasy football community: “third-year-breakout wide receiver.” It implies, obviously, that the third year of a career is when most wide receivers realize their potential. One guy who embodied that: San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel.
Heading into the 2021-22 season, Samuel had just under 1,400 scrimmage yards in his first two years across 22 games played. But in his third year, Samuel more than doubled his career figure.
The former Gamecock amassed over 1,400 yards receiving alone and added 365 rushing yards. He scored 14 touchdowns.

ESPN-NBA commentator Kendrick Perkins doesn’t know where the hell he stands on Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
From one corner of his mouth, Perkins is praising Jokic’s play. From the other, he’s badmouthing support for Jokic.
One day, Perkins calls white NBA MVP voters racist for picking the Serbian over Joel Embiid.
You can’t take Jimmy Butler anywhere.
The Miami Heat were never supposed to be in the 2023 NBA Finals. Now that they’re here, the team is staying loose against the Denver Nuggets thanks to the leadership of their star player, Jimmy Butler.
Butler has always been a character, to put it mildly. He’s created his own coffee company, annoyed teammates by blasting terrible music that he unironically loves, flipped a kayak while detailing his ultimatum to the Bulls, and unintentionally created oh so many memes with his on-court mannerisms.
