2024 Fantasy Outlook
Manning only appeared in 15 games for the Tigers in 2023, though he displayed some positive signs. The former first-round pick posted a strong 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 78 innings. That came on the heels of his 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 2022. Injuries have cut into the righty's overall production, however, as he missed significant time each of the last two seasons due to a handful of issues, including a foot fracture that ended his 2023 campaign. Manning should have a rotation spot heading into 2024, though Detroit's offseason signing of Kenta Maeda adds more competition. For Manning, the biggest key is staying healthy, as he's yet to reach 100 innings at the MLB level. The Tigers will likely limit his workload to a degree, though surpassing last year's innings total should be within reach. If Manning can do that, he figures to be a decent fantasy option. However, the 25-year-old's ceiling will be capped unless he can miss some more bats. Manning posted a 5.77 K/9 last season and has yet to reach even a middling 7.0 K/9 across three seasons in the majors. As a pitch-to-contact player, he may be best deployed in certain matchups rather than as a fantasy regular. Read Past Outlooks
Back in action
Manning (lat) was reinstated from the minor-league injured list Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

It took a while, but Manning finally started to tap into his potential at the MLB level a bit in 2022. The righty started the year in the big-league rotation but only made two appearances before shoulder and biceps injuries put him on the shelf until August. By the end of the year, he logged only 63 innings across 12 starts, though he did manage a solid 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. It's hard to draw too many conclusions from the smaller sample size, but it was a step forward after Manning posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 85.1 innings as a rookie in 2021. He's not really missing bats so far, with a career 6.37 K/9, so it remains to be seen just how successful Manning can be in the majors. For now, just staying healthy should be his top goal after dealing with injuries the past few years. Manning will only be 25 when the 2023 season begins, so there is room for some growth if he can stay on the field.
