Manship, who enjoyed a breakout season in 2015, still figures to fill a middle relief role for the Indians in 2016.

EDGE Analysis

Manship's price tag ($765,000) should give him a leg up on the competition in a crowded bullpen from the right side but Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw figure to handle the late-inning work and Zach McAllister will factor into things as well. It's hard to count on a repeat performance and he'd need a lot of things to break right to enter into a more fantasy-relevant role in 2016.

Manship and the Indians agreed to terms on a one-year contract Friday, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

Manship will see his salary jump up to $765,000 next season after a stellar 2015 campaign in which he posted a 0.92 ERA across 39.1 innings. It was the lowest ERA of any major league pitcher who tossed at least 30 innings last season.

Manship had his contract purchased from Triple-A on Thursday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Maship will come up, joining Kyle Crockett, to replace Shaun Marcum and Zach Walters on the major league roster.

Manship signed a minor league contract with the Indians on Thursday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. Manship was able to parlay a minor league deal into an Opening Day roster spot with the Phillies last season, but that would essentially be the highlight of his 2014. He ended up compiling a 6.65 ERA and 16:14 K:BB ratio over 23 frames before being outrighted off the 40-man roster in July. He's likely best suited for a role as organizational bullpen depth at Triple-A at this stage in his career.
