Through four MLB starts, Manning now has an ERA of 7.94 and he's recorded just six strikeouts over 17 innings.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning had a decent MLB debut against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. He pitched five innings and allowed four hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out three.

Manning had a solid spring with the Tigers. He made three appearances and pitched six ...

Detroit Tigers rookie pitcher Matt Manning threw two shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. The club is being cautious with the young hurler this spring and limiting his innings after he suffered a forearm strain in 2020. Manning's fastball touched 97 mph in Monday's game and he recorded all his outs with the pitch. He also sprinkled in his slider and changeup. The limited spring work likely means Manning is not in the running for a starter's role on opening day but he could ...
