Manning (biceps/shoulder) reported to Single-A Lakeland to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and threw two scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-April, but he's now entered the final stage of his rehab program. According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, Manning is expected to move up to Triple-A Toledo for another rehab outing this weekend, assuming he checks out fine after Tuesday's appearance.

Manning (biceps/shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo next week, Joey Pollizze of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manning resumed mound work last weekend, and he threw an up-down bullpen session Friday. The right-hander will likely require several rehab appearances since he's been on the injured list for two and a half months, but it's possible that he'll be cleared to rejoin the Tigers sometime in late July or early August.

Manning (biceps/shoulder) was transferred from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Manning has already spent 77 days on the 10-day IL, so the transaction doesn't have any affect on his timeline to rejoin the big club and merely clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Garrett Hill, who is slated to start one half of Monday's doubleheader with the Guardians. Of the five Detroit starting pitchers currently residing on the IL, Manning may be the closest to returning. He threw a bullpen session Saturday and could be cleared to come off the IL shortly after the All-Star break if he hits no further snags in his recovery from shoulder inflammation and biceps tendinitis.

EDGE Analysis

Manning increased his throwing distance to 150 feet Friday and threw off a mound Saturday for the first time since being shut down in late May. The right-hander will continue to work at the Tigers' alternate spring training facility prior to eventually resuming a rehab assignment.

Manning (biceps) could throw off a mound Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manning hasn't pitched in a big-league game since mid-April, as a rehab stint was paused in late May due to right biceps tendinitis. He's making his way back from that issue, increasing his throwing distance to 150 feet Friday and potentially throwing off a mound Saturday, though a timeline for his return from the injured list still isn't clear.

Manning (biceps) has resumed throwing off flat ground from 90 feet at the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, Fla., Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old has already spent more than two months on the 10-day injured list, and he may have a tough time making it back before the All-Star break even though he hasn't been shut down from throwing. He still has to increase his long-toss distance before advancing to mound work and then facing hitters before the Tigers send him back out on a rehab assignment. After previously making four rehab starts with Triple-A Toledo in May, Manning was pulled off the assignment while he was pitching through biceps tendinitis. He was initially placed on the IL due to right shoulder inflammation.

Manning (biceps) was cleared to resume throwing Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manning made just two starts before being shut down with biceps tendinitis. He'd embarked on a rehab assignment in early May before being shut down again late in the month, but he'll now be able to restart his throwing program. It's unclear how far away his eventual return will be, but he's at least trending in the right direction again.

Manning (shoulder/illness) was shut down from throwing Thursday after being diagnosed with right biceps tendinitis, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old wasn't believed to be dealing with an additional injury despite covering only 1.2 innings during Tuesday's rehab start, but he's now been shut down for the "foreseeable future." Manning has been sidelined by the shoulder injury since April 16, and he's now unlikely to be back until at least July due to the biceps injury.

Manning (shoulder/illness) covered 1.2 innings in his rehab start Tuesday at Triple-A Toledo, giving up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment at Toledo after his previous outing was cut short when he experienced lightheadedness, Manning experienced no health-related setbacks. However, the right-hander didn't work as deep into the start as the Tigers has hoped, as he was pulled after throwing just 43 pitches (25 strikes). According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, manager A.J. Hinch said that the Tigers have an organizational edict to limit all minor-league pitchers to no more than 30 pitches in a given inning, so Manning was pulled early after he struggled with efficiency during the second inning. As a result of the short outing, the Tigers are still deciding whether Manning will need another rehab start, or if he's built up enough at this point to slot back into an injury-depleted big-league rotation that desperately needs another healthy arm.

Manning (shoulder/illness) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Toledo, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manning was removed from Thursday's rehab start since he was experiencing lightheadedness, and manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that the right-hander's removal wasn't related to his arm. However, Manning will make another appearance in the minors after his last outing was cut short. While he'll miss another turn through the rotation, he should be in the mix to return in late May.
