To open Game 4 Mantiply will work as the opener for Game 4 of the World Series against the Rangers on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mantiply last pitched during Game 1, striking out one batter over a scoreless inning of relief work. He figures to work the first inning or so before handing the ball to a primary pitcher. The Diamondbacks have yet to reveal any pitching plans past Mantiply, but Ryne Nelson would figure to be one of the top candidates to get outs, as he's yet to take the mound this series.

Starting bullpen game Mantiply will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Phillies on Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mantiply has made four appearances during Arizona's postseason run, but he was roughed up in Game 2 against the Phillies, when he allowed three earned runs while recording just one out.

Opening Sunday Mantiply will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Serving as opener Monday Mantiply is scheduled to work as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact Mantiply hasn't tossed more than three innings in any of his 31 appearances in the majors or minors this season and hasn't exceeded two innings in more than two months, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the Texas batting order before exiting the contest. Slade Cecconi, who had initially been listed as Arizona's scheduled starter for Monday, will most likely work in bulk relief behind Mantiply.

Opening Tuesday's contest Mantiply will serve as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact After taking the loss in relief in Monday's series opener at Coors Field while failing to retire any of the three batters he faced en route to allowing three earned runs, Mantiply will get back on the hill Tuesday and attempt to right the ship. He tossed only 11 pitches Monday, so Mantiply should be able to give Arizona an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Arizona hasn't named a designated bulk reliever for the day, but manager Torey Lovullo could lean heavily on either Slade Cecconi or Bryce Jarvis, both of whom have started in the minors for most of the season and are available on three days' rest.

Takes loss Mantiply (1-1) was charged with Monday's loss to the Rockies. He allowed three runs on three hits and did not retire a batter.

Impact Mantiply and Scott McGough combined to cough up an Arizona lead in the eighth inning.

Since returning to the majors Aug. 1, the left-hander has allowed six runs on six hits and one walk over 4.1 innings.

Serving as opener Tuesday Mantiply will work as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Mantiply will be asked to navigate the first inning or so before handing the ball to a primary pitcher. However, the team has yet to reveal who will be called upon in long relief. The lefty has made four appearances so far in August, surrendering three runs on three hits and one walk while fanning three over 4.1 innings.
