Manaea is dealing with an oblique strain, and when it heals he will join the Double-A Northwest Arkansas rotation, the Kansas City Star's Andy McCullough reports. It's not clear when Manaea suffered the injury, but it should not cut into his 2015 campaign too much. Once healthy he will join a loaded Naturals' rotation featuring Brandon Finnegan and Miguel Almonte, among others.
