Yo, it's Jon Anderson, continuing to run the show here in terms of late-summer fantasy baseball writing. I am back with another edition of two-start pitchers as we approach the playoffs. It is week 22, and I'm hoping this week will go better than last. I recommended Matt Manning who had one of the worst outings of the entire season on Tuesday. My bad! I'm not feeling overly confident after writing this up, I only see a couple of pitchers I have any confidence in, so I hope for your sake you have...

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (shoulder) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday after a strong minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday. Manning walked two and struck out six and threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. "It's the best stuff he's had," manager A.J. Hinch said. "I think he held it the entire time. The performance matched the stuff. It was why we gave him an extra start in Triple-A." Whenever Manning slots back into the team's...

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (biceps, shoulder) had a strong rehab outing at Triple-A on Wednesday. He pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out six. It's been a long rehab journey for Manning, who last pitched in the majors in mid-April. However, it's likely that his next start will be with the Tigers. Manning was initially sent to the injured list with shoulder tightness, but he had his first rehab stint paused due to biceps tendonitis. ...

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (biceps, shoulder) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start for Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, and he's scheduled to go a couple of innings before moving to Triple-A Toledo this weekend, barring a setback. Manning has only made two starts for the Tigers this year, with the last one coming way back on April 16, so he'll require at least several rehab starts before the Tigers consider reinstating him from the injured list to rejoin their rotation. ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (bicep) threw a bullpen session on Saturday. This was the first time he'd thrown off a mound during his current throwing regimen. He was previously throwing off flat ground from 150 feet. He is currently in Lakeland, the town of the Tigers' Single-A affiliate, and the plan is for him to continue working out there until he receives a rehab assignment. The 24-year-old was first placed on the injured list in mid-April due to right shoulder inflammation....

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (bicep) is scheduled to visit a specialist on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 24-year-old was pulled during his last rehab start due to bicep tendinitis. The fact that the right-hander will need to see a specialist is not good news for fantasy managers. He could be looking at an extended period of time on the injured list or possibly a more serious injury. Fantasy managers will have to wait until later on Monday for more information.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that starting pitcher Matt Manning (biceps) reported biceps tendonitis and will not throw for the "foreseeable future" while seeking further evaluation. Manning is just now admitting to an arm-related injury after leaving his most recent minor league rehab start after 1 2/3 innings with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. The 24-year-old initially landed on the injured list with a shoulder injury, and he hasn't pitched in a big-league game since April 16 against ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (shoulder) made his first rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. He pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out four. The 24-year-old has been on the shelf since mid-April due to right shoulder tightness. The injury flared up during his second start of the year, limiting him to two innings in the outing. He threw 36 pitches in Sunday's rehab outing, so he'll certainly need at least one more rehab outing to get...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (shoulder) is still dealing with shoulder tightness, according to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. On Tuesday, Hinch stated that Manning will not continue throwing until the issue "resolves itself." Hinch also added that this is not a setback for Manning, but that his ramp up will take longer than the team initially hoped for. Manning made two starts this year before his shoulder began acting up. He went a total of eight innings in those two starts and ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (shoulder) threw a bullpen session at Comerica Park ahead of the team's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. This was his first bullpen session since landing on the injured list on Wednesday with right shoulder inflammation. The 24-year-old made two starts prior to landing on the injured list. He pitched a total of eight innings and allowed six hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out four. It seems as if there's a good...
