Manaea (shoulder) felt strong during Thursday's 60-pitch simulated game, and he could embark on a rehab assignment within the next week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea fared well in his sim game, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the southpaw head out on a rehab stint shortly. He's been on the injured list since the beginning of the 2019 season after undergoing shoulder surgery in September of 2018, so he'll likely require a lengthy stay in the minor leagues before being activated.
