Manning did not factor in the decision against the White Sox on Saturday, pitching five innings and allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
The 10 hits were twice as many as Manning has given up in any other appearance this season, but nine of the knocks were singles, allowing the right-hander to keep the Tigers in the game. Manning racked up an impressive 17 swinging strikes, though he ended up with a modest five punchouts. While he allowed a season-high four runs Saturday, the outcome was the same as in his first four outings -- a no-decision.

Manning allowed four hits and three walks over seven scoreless frames in Sunday's loss to the Rays. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Manning turned in the longest shutout appearance of his career while tying his career best with seven punchouts Sunday. The 6-foot-6 righty did not give up an extra-base hit and allowed just one runner to reach scoring position. He threw 63 of 95 pitches for strikes, including a career-high 13 whiffs. Manning lowered his ERA to 2.25 with a 12:7 K:BB through 20 innings this season. He's projected to face the White Sox on the road next week.

Manning allowed three runs on five hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Twins. He walked four and struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Manning struggled with his control and allowed plenty of baserunners, but the Twins weren't ever fully able to break through. The righty was making his first start since April 16 and was held to 78 pitches, but he should be able to build up his pitch count moving forward. Manning has looked solid in his small sample this year and should still factor into the Tigers' future plans, particularly if he can finish the season on a positive note. The 24-year-old is tentatively lined up to take the mound again Sunday against the Rays.

Manning (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported last week that Manning would rejoin the Tigers on Tuesday, and he will indeed do just that. He will jump right back into Detroit's rotation and take the ball Tuesday night against the Twins.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Manning (shoulder/biceps) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Twins in Minnesota, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The young right-hander will rejoin the Detroit rotation for the first time since mid-April after a prolonged recovery from shoulder inflammation and biceps tendinitis. He built up to 85 pitches while covering 5.2 scoreless innings in his final rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on July 27, so Manning isn't expected to have any major restrictions from a workload standpoint in his return to the big club.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Manning (shoulder) will meet the Tigers in Minnesota for the upcoming series against the Twins, which begins Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manning threw 85 pitches over 5.2 scoreless innings during his rehab outing with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, which will apparently be his final rehab start before returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old has been sidelined by the shoulder injury since mid-April, but he lines up to re-enter Detroit's starting rotation early next week.

Manning (shoulder/biceps) struck out six over 5.2 scoreless innings in his rehab start Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo. He scattered five hits and two walks in the 85-pitch outing.
EDGE Analysis
Manning's ability to get stretched out to 85 pitches and perform effectively while doing so suggests that he'll be ready to come off the 60-day injured list to make his next start with the big club, likely during next week's series in Minnesota. The right-hander last pitched for Detroit on April 16 before missing the next three-plus months due to shoulder inflammation and right biceps tendinitis.

Manning (shoulder) will make at least one more rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He threw 70 pitches over 4.1 innings Friday in a rehab start. All told, Manning has given up four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings through two rehab appearances. The Tigers certainly have room for him in the rotation, but it seems like they want to give him one more tuneup before he gets activated from the 60-day injured list.

Manning (biceps/shoulder) was unable to make his scheduled rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Toledo after the affiliate's game against St. Paul was suspended in the top of the first inning.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers could opt to have Manning throw a simulated game in the next day or two to allow him to remain on schedule with his rehab program, as Toledo won't be back in action again until Friday due to the minor-league All-Star break. Manning is restarting his rehab assignment for a second time after he experienced a biceps injury during a late-May throwing session that kept him out of commission for nearly six weeks. The right-hander returned to action July 12 for Single-A Lakeland, tossing two scoreless innings in his lone appearance before the Tigers cleared him to move his rehab to Toledo. He's projected to return from the 60-day injured list at some point in early August.

Manning (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers plan to have two of their rehabbing starters pitch for Toledo that day, as Rony Garcia (shoulder) is scheduled to piggyback Manning in the outing. Manning has resided on the injured list since April 20, initially due to right shoulder discomfort. He's had his return date pushed back due to a bout of lightheadedness along with right biceps tendinitis, but Manning was cleared to restart his rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Lakeland. In his first game action since May 24, Manning covered two scoreless innings and gave up one hit and one walk. Following his upcoming start Sunday, he's expected to make one or two additional turns through the Toledo rotation following the All-Star break before likely rejoining the Tigers in early August.
