Manaea (3-1) picked up the win Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings in a 2-1 victory over the Rays. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty won his third straight decision but wasn't efficient enough to rack up his fourth straight quality start, exiting the game after 100 pitches (61 strikes). Manaea will take a 2.83 ERA and 28:7 K:BB through 28.2 innings into his next outing Saturday at home against the Orioles.

Manaea (2-1) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, allowing six hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Only two runners even got past second base against the southpaw, who tossed 66 of 95 pitches for strikes while going the distance. Manaea will carry a 3.04 ERA and 22:5 K:BB through 23.2 innings into his next start, set for Monday in Tampa Bay.

Manaea (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits while striking out seven over six innings in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty was dealing Thursday, fanning seven en route to recording a quality start. The 29-year-old threw 58 of his 82 pitches for strikes and has allowed eight runs in 16.2 innings of work. Manaea is scheduled for his next start on Tuesday against the Twins.

Manaea tossed six innings against the Astros on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea rebounded from a rough first start against the same Astros club, during which he yielded five earned runs and didn't get out of the fifth inning. The southpaw was much more effective the second time around, allowing only a fourth-inning run and making it through six frames. Manaea is next lined up to face Detroit at home next Friday.

Manaea (0-1) picked up the loss Sunday against the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits in 4.2 innings, striking out four while walking three.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros' bats were going all series, as they scored 35 runs in 36 innings, and Manaea couldn't do anything to slow them down. They got on him right away, scoring in each of the first three innings. Kyle Tucker hit a solo shot in the first, while Jason Castro followed up with a two-run homer in the second. Yuli Gurriel added two more with a third-inning double. It's a disappointing beginning to the season for Manaea, who started last year slowly as well, struggling to a 9.00 ERA in his first four starts. He'll face the Astros again in his second start of the year, which should come in Houston on Friday.

Manaea allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings in a Cactus League loss to the Giants on Monday. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

As his final line indicates, Manaea's control wasn't in top form, but Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports the left-hander was able to close out his spring slate on a high note by retiring the side in the fourth after reentering the game following a third-inning exit. Despite some wildness Monday, the veteran finished Cactus League play with a 3-1 mark and 17 strikeouts over 15.1 innings.

Manaea was credited with his third win of spring in Wednesday's Cactus League victory over the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits, two walks and two hit batsmen across 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander worked up to just under 80 pitches while facing a dangerous White Sox lineup that boasted plenty of regulars. Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports both Manaea and manager Bob Melvin came away pleased with the veteran's ability to consistently pound his fastball inside, as well as the movement on his slider, in what was slated to be the pitcher's penultimate Cactus League start. "He was good again," Melvin said. "He used all his pitches. We're just trying to get his pitch count up and he continues to improve and pitch better."

Manaea did not suffer an injury after being struck by a line drive during his start Thursday, Alex Coffey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea was hit on his throwing elbow by a line drive off the bat of Eric Hosmer. However, he continued to pitch after being checked on by the trainer and told the media after the game there is no injury besides a bruise. Manaea has had a strong spring training to this point, racking up a 9:3 K:BB across 6.2 innings.

Manaea, who allowed an earned run on three hits and a walk while recording four strikeouts over three innings in a Cactus League win over the Reds on Saturday, saw his fastball top out at 94 mph during the outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The radar-gun reading is particularly relevant when considering Manaea's velocity was down in recent seasons as he focused on improving his command. Manaea was able to combine both power and location consistently Saturday, and his ability to keep the fastball at no less than 93 mph was partly a testament to an offseason workout regimen that focused on mobility and durability.

Manaea signed a one-year, $5.95 million deal with Oakland on Friday to avoid arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides were able to reach a deal ahead of Friday's deadline, and the left-hander is now officially under contract for 2021. Manaea had a 4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB over 54 innings during 2020 and should enter spring training as a member of the starting rotation.
