Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (foot) and outfielder Matt Vierling (back) are both starting minor-league rehab assignments this weekend. Manning will start for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, while Vierling is starting his rehab assignment for Toledo on Friday. Manning will likely need a handful of rehab starts since he's been on the injured list since mid-April with a fractured right foot. But when he's healthy, the 25-year-old right-hander should have a spot waiting for him in ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (foot) threw another live bullpen session on Friday and is scheduled to complete another live bullpen session next week as he continues to recover from a right-foot fracture that he suffered in April. The 25-year-old right-hander will be eligible to return from the injured list on June 12, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's not ready by then. Since he last pitched in a game on April 11, Manning will most likely require a lengthy ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (foot) threw another full bullpen session on Tuesday. Manning also threw a bullpen last week as he works his way back from a right-foot fracture that he suffered in the middle of April. The 25-year-old right-hander is getting closer to facing live hitters, and he'll eventually go on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Detroit's starting rotation. He only made two starts for the Tigers this year before fracturing his foot, and he will ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (toe) told reporters on Sunday that he expects to start throwing next week. He also said that he hopes to be back on the mound within six weeks. The 25-year-old was wearing a protective boot and was riding around on a scooter to protect his fractured right pinkie toe that he suffered back on April 11. The good news is that the fracture does not require surgery and if all goes well, Manning should be back with the club sometime in June. He posted a ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (foot) will not require surgery for his fractured right pinkie toe. Manning and the Tigers came to that decision after consulting with several foot specialists. It's a good sign that the injury won't require surgery but there is currently no timetable for his return to the team. The 25-year-old hurler sustained the injury in his last start after he was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Alejandro Kirk. The team should provide another update next ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning fractured a bone in his right foot during his Tuesday start against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. It's unclear if he'll miss any time, but the right-hander wants to make his next scheduled start. Manning has dealt with injuries in the past, as he was limited to 63 innings last year with shoulder problems. The former top prospect hasn't performed as expected since making his debut in 2021, and so far, he's ...

Detroit Tigers pitcher Matt Manning will make his second start of the season Tuesday as the Tigers travel to the Rogers Centre in Toronto to battle the Blue Jays. Manning, 25, surrendered two earned runs across 5 2/3 innings against the Red Sox in his season debut on April 4, striking out four against two walks. While Manning has been solid across 13 starts beginning last season, he's still lacking the big strikeout numbers he turned in throughout his minor-league career. The right-hander owns ...

Even before this spring, Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning's velocity had been wildly inconsistent. He was throwing in the upper-90s in the spring of 2020, but his fastball averaged 93.2 mph last year. Manning's slider can be really good when it's on, but his slider and changeup are almost never in sync on the same day. The former first-rounder was promoted in 2021 despite having an 8.07 ERA at Triple-A, so he could benefit from more time on the farm to open the 2023 season. Meanwhile, ...

The Detroit Tigers placed right-handers Matt Manning (forearm) and Kerry Carpenter (back) on the injured list on Thursday and selected the contract of right-hander Miguel Diaz from Triple-A Toledo and recalled utility man Kody Clemens from Toledo in corresponding moves. Manning was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain, while Carpenter is on the 10-day IL with a left lumbar spine strain. Both pitchers will miss the rest of the regular season. The 24-year-old Manning ...

Detroit Tigers pitcher Matt Manning (arm) is dealing with fatigue and tendinitis in his arm after undergoing tests. According to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, it's highly unlikely Manning pitches again this season. He experienced some fatigue in his arm while warming up for his scheduled start Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander was scratched ahead of his start. The 24-year-old finishes the season with a 2-3 record alongside a 3.43 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 48 strikeouts over 63 ...
