Manning (4-7) got the loss Monday after pitching 3.1 innings and giving up six runs to the White Sox. He allowed four hits, walked five and struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old pitched three scoreless before imploding in the top of the fourth inning. He allowed six consecutive batters to reach base before being pulled with one out, ultimately surrendering six runs in the inning. After a three-start streak of three or less runs given up, his ERA went from an already disappointing 5.73 to 6.16 in this one. Manning's next start is expected to come Saturday against the White Sox again.

Manning (4-6) tossed six innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Wednesday against the Brewers. He allowed two hits and three walks while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
This was probably the best start of Manning's rookie campaign, as he struck out a season-high six batters and tied a season high with the six innings pitched. There was some concern the 23-year-old might miss this start after taking a liner off his left knee in his last outing, but he looked no worse for the wear. It's still been mostly a struggle this year for Manning with a 5.75 ERA, though he's allowed just two total runs across his last two starts. The righty will look to build on the positive momentum in his next scheduled appearance Monday against the White Sox.

The Tigers list Manning (knee) as their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning's inclusion in Detroit's pitching schedule this week implies the team has no concern about the health of his left knee, which was struck by a line drive in his last outing Sept. 8 in Pittsburgh. Though Manning was pulled early from the start as a result, his exit looks to have been precautionary, as he escaped with little more than a bruise on the knee. Since joining the big-league rotation in mid-June, Manning has gone 3-6 with a 6.14 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 66 innings over 14 starts.

Manning (knee) had X-rays come back negative after leaving Wednesday's start against the Pirates, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was struck on the left knee by a liner during the third inning, and the initial diagnosis of a contusion was confirmed when the X-rays came back clean. The 23-year-old didn't factor in the decision after giving up one run on four hits with four strikeouts and zero walks in three innings. He should be considered day-to-day, and it's currently unclear if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation.

Manning was removed from Wednesday's start at Pittsburgh with a left knee contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was hit in the knee by a line drive on the final out of the third inning, which spelled an early end to his start. The 23-year-old was pitching well prior to being hit and allowed one run on four hits with four strikeouts and zero walks in three frames. The Tigers are currently leading, but he'll end up with a no-decision since he didn't last the five required innings. It's unclear if the injury will affect his next turn through the rotation.

Manning (3-6) was charged with the loss Thursday against the A's after allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off one of his best outings of the year, Manning got off to a rough start with a 32-pitch, four-run first inning. The right-hander walked Starling Marte on six pitches, then walked Matt Chapman with two outs. Jed Lowrie took advantage by launching a three-run home run. Next up, Mark Canha sent a solo shot over the wall to make it 4-0. Manning never recovered from there, resulting in his sixth loss of the season. The 23-year-old will bring a 6.29 ERA and 1.60 WHIP into his next projected start Wednesday at Pittsburgh.

Manning pitched six innings of one-run ball but did not factor into the decision Friday against the Blue Jays, He allowed six hits and a walk while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Manning and Toronto starter Steven Matz both allowed just one run through six innings, so Manning was denied his fourth win of the season. However, this was a step in the right direction for the 23-year-old, who had allowed 11 earned runs across his last three starts (14.2 innings pitched). Manning will take a 5.46 ERA into his next scheduled start Thursday against the Athletics and will look to build on this encouraging outing.

Manning allowed two runs on five hits across 4.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Angels. He walked four and struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The season-high four walks pushed Manning's pitch count up, as he needed 96 pitches to retire his 14 batters, though he avoided the loss as the Tigers spotted him 10 runs of support. Manning now has a 5.91 ERA through his first 11 MLB starts, and he only has 29 strikeouts across 53.1 innings, so he's not doing much to move the needle in fantasy. The 23-year-old is projected to make his next start Aug. 27 against the Blue Jays.

Manning (3-5) earned the win Thursday against the Orioles after allowing three runs on eight hits across six innings, striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Manning recorded his second quality start of the season, and most importantly, he managed to bounce back after a woeful outing against Cleveland in his previous start. The rookie right-hander has struggled with consistency at times, but he has shown promise and has allowed three or fewer runs in five of his last seven appearances. Despite that, a couple of subpar outings mean he still owns a 6.10 ERA on the season.

Manning (2-5) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on 10 hits over four innings as the Tigers were downed 6-1 by Cleveland. He struck out three without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
There were some positives for the rookie, as he kept the ball in the yard and didn't issue a free pass -- the first time he's done both in a start in the majors -- but in general it was another poor showing for Manning. He'll carry a 6.33 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB through 42.2 innings into his next outing.
