Matt Manning - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Headed to KBO Manning signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Samsung Lions of the Korea Baseball Organization on Sunday, Yonhap of the Korea Times reports.

Impact Manning will head to Korea after posting an inflated 6.04 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 50.2 innings in 31 appearances, including four starts, with Triple-A Toledo in 2025. The right-hander was the Tigers' first-round pick in the 2016 MLB First-Year Player Draft, and he'll look to recapture some of his luster overseas in 2026.

Stays in organization The Phillies outrighted Manning to Double-A Reading on Monday.

Impact He'll remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Manning has spent all of the 2025 season in the minors, holding a 6.47 ERA between the Double- and Triple-A levels.

Designated for assignment The Phillies designated Manning for assignment Friday.

Impact Manning was removed from the 40-man roster in order to make room for Walker Buehler, who was added to the 40-man and 26-man rosters Friday. Manning was acquired by the Phillies from the Tigers back in July and has been pitching at Double-A Reading, where he has a 10.80 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB across five innings of work.

Sent to Philadephia The Phillies acquired Manning from the Tigers on Thursday in exchange for minor league outfielder Josueth Quinonez.

Impact Manning was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Thursday prior to the Phillies nabbing him from waivers. To make room on the 40-man roster for the right-hander, the Phillies designated Devin Sweet for assignment. Philadephia assigned Manning to Single-A Clearwater.

Dropped from 40-man roster The Tigers designated Manning for assignment Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Once a heralded starting pitching prospect in the organization, Manning struggled to stay healthy over each of the previous three seasons and was unable to establish himself as a permanent part of the big-league rotation. Though Manning had still managed to produce a 3.74 ERA in 168.2 innings in the majors from 2022 through 2024, the Tigers elected to move him to the bullpen earlier this season after he failed to win a spot on Detroit's Opening Day roster. While Manning has been able to stay healthy at Triple-A Toledo in 2025, his stuff hasn't played up in the bullpen as the Tigers had hoped. He had yet to receive a call-up this season while compiling a 6.04 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 52:37 K:BB in 50.2 innings with Toledo, and the Tigers have now elected to move him off the 40-man roster in order to open up a spot for trade-deadline pickup Paul Sewald (shoulder). Given his pedigree, the 27-year-old Manning could attract interest via waivers, but he doesn't look to be especially close to being an impact arm in the majors.

Misses out on Opening Day roster spot The Tigers optioned Manning to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Manning had been competing for a rotation spot, but he entered camp on the outside looking in for a roster berth after logging a 4.88 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB over his five starts in the big leagues and a 4.28 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 72:25 K:BB in 69.1 innings at Triple-A last season. He'll begin the 2025 season in Toledo's rotation and will be on the short list for a call-up whenever the Tigers require a spot starter.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches better Thursday Manning allowed one run on four hits and two walks across 2.2 innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He struck out two.

Impact Manning still dealt with plenty of traffic but he pitched better than his first spring appearance Saturday, when he walked four batters and allowed three runs across 1.1 innings. The 27-year-old is stretching out a bit so far in Grapefruit League play, though he could be getting ready for a long-relief role as opposed to a spot in Detroit's rotation, as the Tigers have a handful of other options to start games.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in spring debut Manning allowed three runs on three hits and four walks across 1.1 innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

Impact Manning followed starter Kenta Maeda, who tossed two scoreless innings, with a rough relief appearance. Of particular concern is the four walks, as the righty struggled with command last season in the majors. Manning posted a career-worst 3.9 BB/9 across 27.2 regular-season innings. The 27-year-old is vying for a roster spot during spring training, but continued struggles could relegate him to Triple-A Toledo, which is where he spent most of 2024.

Role unclear heading into season With the Tigers bolstering their rotation in the offseason, Manning could work as both a starter and a reliever in 2025 if he's able to make the team, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports...

Impact Detroit added Alex Cobb and Jack Flaherty during the offseason, and the team already has ace Tarik Skubal and Reese Olson locked into starting roles. Manning is thus among a large group of pitchers competing for the No. 5 spot that includes Keider Montero, top prospect Jackson Jobe, Casey Mize, Kenta Maeda and Brant Hurter. Manning spent most of 2024 with Triple-A Toledo, so he figures to be behind most of those players in the competition at this point. However, the 27-year-old could find his way onto the roster as a reliever. If Manning makes the bullpen out of spring training, he likely won't see high-leverage work, so his fantasy value figures to be limited either way.

Back in action Manning (lat) was reinstated from the minor-league injured list Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manning will start for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday after being on the shelf for nearly two months. He didn't make any rehab outings prior to being activated, so he could face a limited pitch count.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes mound work Manning (lat) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions twice weekly and is aiming to return to action before Triple-A Toledo's regular season ends Sept. 22, Evan Petzold of the Detroi...

Impact Manning last pitched July 14 before informing the Tigers during the All-Star break that he was dealing with a right lat strain. He was shut down from activity for about a month before he resumed his throwing program. Though both Manning and the Tigers are optimistic he'll pitch again this season for the Triple-A club, he may not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a traditional starting role.

On Triple-A IL with lat injury Triple-A Toledo placed Manning on its 7-day injured list Friday due to a right lat strain.

Impact Manning has been with Toledo since late May after making five starts with the Tigers early in the season. The 26-year-old had turned in a 4.53 ERA across 59.2 innings with Toledo and looked to be a candidate to step in as the Tigers' No. 5 starter coming out of the All-Star break with Casey Mize (hamstring) on the injured list, but the lat strain will remove Manning from consideration for a call-up.

On IL with lat injury Manning was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Toledo due to a right lat strain.

Impact Manning has been with Toledo since late May after making five starts with the Tigers early in the season. The 26-year-old has earned a 4.53 ERA across 59.2 innings with the Mud Hens and a timetable for his return has yet to be established. Manning likely won't see much, if any, MLB action in the final two-plus months of the regular season but could eat some innings once he's healthy if the Tigers decide to sell at the trade deadline

Likely Maeda replacement Manning will likely rejoin the big-league rotation with Kenta Maeda (viral illness) being placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jack Flaherty is currently listed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Astros, but given that Manning was scratched from his Saturday start for Toledo, it's possible he could start Sunday, or at least Monday against the Marlins. Manning has a 4.24 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 17 innings through three MLB starts this year.

Fans seven in loss Manning (0-1) took the loss against the Twins on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings.

Impact Manning struggled out of the gate, walking each of the first two batters he faced to open the game before allowing the Twins' first run to come home on a sacrifice fly. The right-hander was then victimized by the long ball in the third and sixth innings as Detroit struggled to back him with anything on offense. It wasn't all bad for Manning, however, as he did fan seven batters on the day while producing 12 swinging strikes. He's gone at least five innings in each of his two starts this season and is still sporting a 2.92 ERA following the loss.
