Manaea (5-8) allowed one run on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings in a win Tuesday over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
This was one of Manaea's best starts, as it was just the fourth time he has completed seven innings and the third time he has reached eight strikeouts. Manaea's only mistake was a solo home run in the sixth inning by Chris Gimenez. He has to keep the ball in the yard to make the next step -- Manaea has allowed eight home runs over his last six starts, which is why he has a mediocre 4.33 ERA despite a brilliant 33:10 K:BB over 37.1 innings.

Manaea (4-8) was tagged for five runs on nine hits over six innings in Wednesday's loss to Texas. He struck out five without a walk.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie got off to a good start in this one, opening with three shutout frames and limiting Texas to three runs through six innings. But manager Bob Melvin decided to leave him in for the seventh, and he let the Rangers start a rally. He also gave up his 18th homer in 110.1 innings, one of the biggest factors in that unappealing 4.73 ERA. Manaea has plenty of potential -- he can miss bats and his control's been pretty good -- but the 24-year-old southpaw remains a work in progress. In particular, he hasn't been very effective against right-handed hitters -- they've compiled a .285/.341/.502 line against him.

Manaea earned his fourth win of the year Friday against Seattle, allowing three runs over six innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea had a no-hitter through the first four innings, but a solo homer by Kyle Seager leading off the fifth ended that. Manaea stumbled a bit in the sixth allowing two runs, but turned in a very strong outing overall, giving up only three hits over his six innings. After a rough start to his rookie year that saw his ERA over six after his first nine starts, Manaea has allowed three runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts to lower his ERA to 4.57. Manaea will next take the hill Wednesday at the Rangers.

Manaea (3-7) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Despite pitching well, Manaea didn't receive any run support, leading to his seventh loss of the campaign. He's started to turn things around by firing quality starts in three of his last four outings to lower his ERA to 4.58. The rookie is gaining valuable experience, and with a strong finish to the season, he could be a player to watch in 2017. He'll make his next start Friday against the Mariners.

Manaea (3-6) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts in a loss Tuesday to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea was having his best run of the season, with a 1.69 ERA and 26 strikeouts and zero walks over his previous four starts entering Tuesday night. However, his control wasn't as sharp as it had been, and he was touched up for a pair of home runs which accounted for all five runs. Manaea did induce 14 swinging strikes, but he has now allowed 14 home runs in 15 starts, and he'll have to keep the ball in the yard to improve his 4.68 ERA.

Manaea (3-5) pitched eight-scoreless innings, but walked away with a no-decision in Friday's 13-inning affair against the A's. He allowed five hits and struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea didn't surrender a run for the third since coming off the disabled list on June 29 with a left forearm strain, bringing his ERA to 2.47 in his last five starts. His seven strikeouts were one shy of his career high, and the lefty has now made three consecutive appearances (20 innings) without allowing a walk. Manaea mainly utilized his fastball and changeup -- something he's doing more frequently as the season progresses -- and mixed in his slider. The 24-year-old retired the first 14 batters he faced, striking out six, and saw his ERA drop from 5.13 to 4.61 by the end of the evening.

Manae struck out six and did not issue a walk across seven shutout innings Sunday versus Houston. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander was rocked in his previous start and faced a difficult road matchup Sunday, but he delivered perhaps the finest outing of his young career, although his offense was unable to pick him up versus Dallas Keuchel. Manae still owns a hefty 5.24 ERA, but he has shown flashes of the pedigree that made him a top prospect and will look to achieve some consistency heading out of the All-Star break.

Manaea (3-5) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in Tuesday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea pounded the zone with 19 first-pitch strikes to 25 hitters and 55 strikes out of 88 pitches, but the Twins were ready for everything he threw at them. He gave up two homers and three doubles out of those seven hits. This marks the third time already this season Manaea has served up multiple home runs as the long ball continues to haunt him, as 10 home runs in 10 starts have helped to push his ERA up to 5.85.

Manaea had a strong return from the DL Thursday, shutting out the Giants over 5.2 innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
This was Manaea's first start since June 13th after hitting the DL with a muscle strain in his forearm. He has shown some nice flashes during this rookie season, but Wednesday was one of his better complete starts as he avoided the big inning which has been plaguing him so far. Manaea is next scheduled to take the hill Tuesday in Minnesota.

Manaea (arm) was reinstated from the 15-day DL on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Giants. The 24-year-old has struggled this season, posting a 6.02 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in nine starts and will now have to face a strong San Francisco lineup.
