Manning allowed three runs on three hits and four walks across 1.1 innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Manning followed starter Kenta Maeda, who tossed two scoreless innings, with a rough relief appearance to begin his spring schedule. Of particular concern is the four walks, as the righty struggled with command last season in the majors, posting a career-worst 3.9 BB/9 across 27.2 regular-season innings. The 27-year-old is vying for a roster spot during spring training, but continued struggles could relegate Manning to Triple-A Toledo, which is where he spent most of 2024.
Not good. Manning threw a hissy fit when the Tigers assigned him to Toledo last year, and he wasn't stellar there either. I'm sure the Tigers would love to see him have a good spring, mostly because that would give him some trade value. It's time to move on from him.
