Manning will start the team's fourth Grapefruit League game Monday against the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manning will follow Eduardo Rodriguez, Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal in the spring rotation, with Tyler Alexander slotting in fifth. This is what the rotation is expected to look like to begin the regular season as well. Manning struggled some during his MLB debut in 2021, posting a 5.80 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 18 starts to go with a 57:33 K:BB. A good performance Monday would be a nice sign, but the 24-year-old will need to string together a few solid starts to really get the attention of fantasy managers.
