Manaea (oblique) has started throwing bullpen sessions at the team's spring training complex in Arizona and is likely a few weeks away from joining the Double-A rotation, according to the Northwest Arkansas coaching staff. The team wants him healthy for the second half of the season in case there is a need at the big league level, as Manaea may be the most advanced of the organizations bevvy of impressive minor league arms. A 6-foot-5 lefty with mid-90s cheese and two offspeed offerings with plus potential, Manaea comfortably projects to be at least a mid-rotation arm at the highest level.
