• Mets' Sean Manaea: Bound for IL with oblique strain

  Rotowire Feb 24, 2025

  Manaea has been diagnosed with a right oblique strain and is expected to begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Manaea will be shut down for a couple weeks before being re-evaluated, but even in a best-case scenario he will not have time to be built back up for Opening Day. It's another blow to the Mets' starting pitching depth after it was revealed last week that Frankie Montas has a right lat strain. The club has been planning to deploy a six-man rotation early in the season, but it might now have to rethink that strategy.

• Mets' Sean Manaea: Returning to Queens

  Rotowire Dec 23, 2024

  Manaea agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract with the Mets on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. After posting a 4.73 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 67 appearances (38 starts) between the Padres and Giants during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, Manaea bounced back during his first season with the Mets last year, generating a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB while pitching a career-high 181.2 innings across 32 regular-season starts. He'll return to the Mets and be part of a pitching staff that has already added Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes during the offseason. Manaea will be a front-end starter for a team that reached the NLCS in 2024 and enters the 2025 season with lofty aspirations after signing Juan Soto to a record-breaking deal in early December.

  Rotowire Nov 18, 2024

  Manaea rejected the Mets' one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. It was expected, as Manaea is in line to land a multi-year contract this offseason. That deal could come from the Mets, as the two sides are interested in a reunion. If Manaea signs elsewhere, the Mets will receive a draft pick. The left-hander collected a 3.47 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 181.2 regular-season innings in 2024.

  Rotowire Oct 12, 2024

  Manaea will start Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Manaea hasn't pitched since Tuesday, so it's hardly a surprise for him to start on what will be five days of rest.

  Rotowire Oct 6, 2024

  Manaea was announced Sunday as the Mets' starter for Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Phillies on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

In that contest, the left-hander yielded two runs over five innings and came away with a no-decision. In three starts versus Philadelphia during the regular season, Manaea posted a 5.40 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over 16.2 frames.

• Mets' Sean Manaea: Tapped for Game 2 start

  Rotowire Oct 1, 2024

  Manaea will start Wednesday in Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Manaea was knocked around in Milwaukee in his final start of the regular season, but it's no surprise he's getting the nod for Game 2 based on his 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB across 181.2 innings this season. Jose Quintana is a likely bet to start Game 3, if necessary, although Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is holding off naming a starter for that contest for now.

• Mets' Sean Manaea: Shelled in Milwaukee

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2024

  Manaea (12-6) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out just one. The 32-year-old's run of brilliance came to an end, as he had pitched to a 2.91 ERA over 65 innings across his previous 10 starts. This marks the first time Manaea has allowed five or more earned runs since his first start of the second half against Miami on July 19. Things unraveled quickly for the Mets southpaw, as Rhys Hoskins launched a grand slam to left field in the opening frame. Manaea concludes a solid regular season, pitching to a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB across 181.2 innings. He likely will enter free agency this offseason as the two-year deal he signed with the Mets this past January includes an opt-out clause.

The left-hander was scheduled to start Thursday's contest, and it's hardly a surprise the Mets are hoping to get him on the mound as soon as possible in preparation for the wild-card round next week. Manaea has a 3.29 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 183:61 K:BB over 178 innings through 31 starts this season.

• Mets' Sean Manaea: Notches 12th win

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2024

  Manaea (12-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Phillies, giving up three runs on three hits over seven innings. He struck out six without walking a batter. Solo shots by Kyle Schwarber to lead off the game and Nick Castellanos in the fifth inning accounted for most of the damage off Manaea, but he was otherwise locked in as he won his fourth straight decision. The quality start was the southpaw's third straight and seventh in his last eight outings, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.95 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB through 55 innings. Manaea is scheduled to make his final start of the regular season on the road next week against Atlanta -- the team closest to the Mets in the race for the final wild-card spot in the NL.

Over his last 10 outings, Manaea has posted a dazzling 2.49 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 76:16 K:BB through 65 innings, but he's had to settle for a no-decision in three straight starts.

The New York southpaw looked untouchable for most of this outing, generating a fantastic 19 whiffs to pick up his nine Ks.

  Rotowire Aug 11, 2024

  Manaea (8-5) took the loss against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over three innings while striking out three.

He would manage to get through the next two innings unscathed but was relieved by Huascar Brazoban to open the fourth after throwing 85 pitches through three innings. It marked the shortest outing of the season for Manaea after hurling 14 scoreless frames over his previous two starts, while the five walks on the night matched his season high.
