Manaea (5-3) gave up two earned runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in Monday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea got into some early trouble in the first but was quickly given a reprieve when Ryon Healy bashed the first of two home runs in the second to stake the young lefty to a 3-1 lead. The 25-year-old then settled in and allowed just one other run the rest of the way, exiting after six frames and a season-high 111 pitches. It was Manaea's third straight quality start, a stretch in which he's allowed just three earned runs overall and compiled a 24:5 K:BB across 20 innings. He'll look notch what would be his fifth consecutive victory when he faces the Rays on the road next Saturday.

Manaea (4-3) tossed seven impressive innings in Cleveland on Wednesday, striking out nine while allowing just a single run on three hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

He's now won three straight starts, and the last two have been particularly impressive efforts. Manaea's showing more and more flashes of his sky-high upside, and he's now pulled his ERA under the 4.00 mark to 3.91; his accompanying 1.03 WHIP and promising 54:19 K:BB (48.1 innings) would suggest that his run prevention will continue improving. The 25-year-old righty will make his next start at home against Toronto on Monday.

Manaea (3-3) allowed no runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win Friday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea left the contest in a scoreless game, but the offense came up with a pair of runs in the top of the eighth inning to reward him for his outstanding effort. This was only the second time he posted a quality start over his last seven outings, and he lowered his ERA to 4.35. His best fantasy asset has been his ability to strike out batters, as he's notched 45 of them over his last 41.1 innings of work. He'll make his next start Friday against the Indians.

Manaea will start Friday against the Yankees in place of Kendall Graveman, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland had off days on both Monday and Thursday this week, so Manaea will have had a solid five days since his last start, Saturday against Boston. The southpaw has compiled a 5.24 ERA over seven starts this season, but hasn't given up more than four earned runs over his last five starts and is holding opposing hitters to a .189 BAA. Jharel Cotton will be recalled to start Saturday's matinee.

Manaea (2-3) allowed three runs, two of which were earned, on five hits while striking out three over five innings to earn the win Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea left the contest with a 3-2 deficit before the offense erupted with five runs in the bottom of the fifth to earn him his third victory of the campaign. Despite the decent outing, he's only had a single quality start all year, and his 5.24 ERA makes him a risky player to use in fantasy lineups. He'll make his next start Saturday against the Yankees.

Manaea (1-3) allowed four runs on only two hits (one home run) while walking five and striking out seven over five innings in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The young left-hander walked four in the first inning after a leadoff single by Jean Segura, and it led to a 38-pitch opening frame. The good news is that Manaea finished strong, retiring the final 10 batters he faced in his first start since April 26. The 25-year-old's ceiling remains high because of his strikeout stuff (10.4 K/9), but his lack of control (5.2 BB/9) makes him a risky mixed league option for the time being.

Manaea (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, the young left-hander will return from injury in order to start Monday's contest with the division-rival Mariners. Manaea has been sidelined since April 26, but prior to getting hurt, he held a 5.18 ERA and 10.0 K/9 in 24.1 innings pitched. To make room for him on the major-league roster, catcher Bruce Maxwell was sent back to Triple-A Nashville.

Manaea (shoulder) is scheduled to start Monday's series opener with the Mariners, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

All systems are go for the young southpaw, as the Athletics have already cleared a rotation spot for him after optioning Jharel Cotton back to Triple-A. This development would line Manaea up to square off against Yovani Gallardo in Seattle.

Manaea (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Sunday or Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Manaea is ready to rejoin the Athletics after tossing a four-inning rehab game at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. He allowed just one run and struck out five during that outing. The 25-year-old held a 5.18 ERA through 24.1 innings (five starts) before landing not he disabled list. He'll likely take the rotation spot of Jharel Cotton, who was optioned back to Triple-A Thursday.

Manaea (shoulder) may need to throw one more rehab game before coming off the DL, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea was solid during Tuesday's rehab start at Triple-A Nashville. Over four innings he allowed just one run and struck out five batters. Manager Bob Melvin reported that Manaea felt good during Tuesday's outing, but it's possible that the club will want him to throw in one more game before bringing him off the DL.
