Manning (shoulder) exited Thursday's rehab start at Triple-A Toledo because he was experiencing lightheadedness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was removed from his third rehab start during the third inning, but general manager Al Avila said that the right-hander didn't suffer an aggravation of the shoulder injury that initially forced him to the 10-day injured list April 20. Thursday's outing was expected to be Manning's final rehab start, but because he threw only 49 pitches before exiting, the Tigers may want him to make another start in the minors before bringing him back from the IL. Regardless, assuming he's able to quickly overcome the bout with lightheadedness, he should be on track to rejoin Detroit's rotation by the end of the month.

Manning (shoulder) left his rehab start Thursday at Triple-A Toledo midway through the third inning with an apparent injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was making what seemed likely to be his final rehab start as he works his way back from shoulder inflammation, but his timeline is now unclear following Thursday's setback. He opened his outing with Toledo with two scoreless innings, only to walk three batters and hit another with a pitch before being pulled from the start. It's unclear if his shaky control was due to more shoulder troubles or an entirely separate injury, but either way, he's unlikely to return from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming week.

Manning (shoulder) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning has already thrown a pair of rehab outings as he makes his way back from shoulder inflammation, but he only got up to 3.2 frames in his most recent one Friday. He'll be targeting 75-80 pitches in his next start, which should leave him ready for something close to a full workload when he returns to the majors.

Manning (shoulder) is scheduled to make his second rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning's first rehab outing with Toledo on Sunday went about as well as possible, as the 24-year-old right-hander struck out four while allowing just one baserunner over three scoreless innings. He tossed 36 pitches in that outing and will likely ramp up his pitch count to the 50-to-60 range as he looks to get stretched back out for a traditional starting role. Manning could require one more start at Toledo's beyond Friday before making his way back from the 10-day injured list.

Manning (shoulder) tossed three scoreless innings Sunday in his first rehab start at Triple-A Toledo. He struck out four and allowed one hit and issued no walks in the 36-pitch outing.
EDGE Analysis
The outing marked Manning's first at any level since he exited his second start of the season with the Tigers on April 16 with right shoulder tightness. Though Manning was about as impressive as possible in the rehab outing and efficiently retired nine of the 10 hitters he faced, he's expected to make one or two more rehab starts before slotting back into the Detroit rotation, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.

Manning (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning has been on the injured list since mid-April, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. He recently threw multiple bullpen sessions of over 30 pitches, but it's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll require prior to rejoining the Tigers.

Manning (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was still experiencing tightness in his shoulder in late April, but he's now thrown multiple bullpens of over 30 pitches. It's not yet clear how many minor-league appearances the right-hander will require, but a rehab assignment would likely be the final step in his recovery process.

Manning (shoulder) hasn't been cleared to resume throwing since he's still experiencing tightness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was reportedly scheduled to throw a bullpen session over the weekend, but that apparently didn't happen since the tightness remains an ongoing issue. Manning landed on the injured list April 20 with right shoulder inflammation and remains without a timeline for his return.

Manning (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first bullpen session he has thrown since his shoulder first flared up. Manning struck out four with zero walks in eight innings prior to landing on the injured list. It's unclear when he will be activated, but it's promising that he is already throwing.

The Tigers placed Manning (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Manning's move to the IL isn't particularly surprising after manager A.J. Hinch acknowledged a day earlier that the young right-hander likely wouldn't be ready to go when his next turn in the rotation comes up Saturday against the Rockies at Comerica Park. Once the inflammation in his shoulder dissipates, Manning should resume a throwing program, and how he looks during his bullpen sessions will likely dictate whether he'll miss more than one turn through the rotation. Detroit has yet to announce a potential replacement in the rotation for Manning, though long reliever Drew Hutchison could be stretched out enough for a spot start after he covered three innings in his last appearance April 16.
