Manaea (groin) completed a 28-pitch side session Monday and is slated to take part in a minor league Thursday or Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Although the ailment won't allow the left-hander to break camp with the big club, a glimmer of hope remains that he'll achieve full health in advance of Opening Day next Monday against the White Sox.
