Alek Manoah feeling good about comeback with Angels

TEMPE, Ariz. — Alek Manoah compared his post-surgery arm to a rental car.

“When you drive your car and you use your brakes, you’re comfortable with your brakes,” he said. “You know exactly how sensitive they are and things like that. When you hop in a rental car, those first few stop signs might be a little (jarring).”

That, Manoah said, is what it’s like to be rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.

“There’s going to be some spiked sliders and some fastballs that sail,” he said.
