Manning looks to be the Tigers' No. 4 starter to begin the season, though the team is still looking to bolster its rotation before Opening Day, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the Tigers do add a starter before the season, it seems like Tyler Alexander would get bumped from the rotation before Manning. The latter isn't guaranteed to keep his spot all year, however, after struggling as a rookie in 2021. Manning recorded a 5.80 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 18 starts to go with a 57:33 K:BB. A strong start to the 2022 campaign for the 24-year-old would certainly help his cause.
