Manaea (oblique) will move to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to make his fourth rehab start, Ben Krimmel of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a right oblique strain, but he looks to be just a couple weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list. The veteran southpaw most recently pitched Sunday for High-A Brooklyn, covering 2.1 innings and striking out two batters while allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. After Friday's outing, Manaea is expected to make at least one more rehab start before joining the big-league club. His return is tentatively scheduled for a three-game set against the Brewers that starts July 1, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander restarted his throwing program in mid-April after receiving a PRP injection to address lingering problems with his strained right oblique, and he's now starting to ramp up in his progression.

Manaea suffered a right oblique strain in late February, and while he began a throwing progression in mid-March, he was quickly shut down due to continued discomfort in his side. The 33-year-old resumed playing catch April 14 after getting a platelet-rich plasma injection, but he remains weeks away from a potential rehab assignment, and Manaea will need a full build-up before he's ready to join the big-league rotation.
