Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Manaea was good for his first 20 starts last season, putting up a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 101:45 K:BB over 106 innings. Then, after watching a Chris Sale start and deciding he'd try to emulate Sale's lower arm slot, Manaea really took off over his final 12 outings, collecting a 3.09 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 83:18 K:BB across 75.2 frames. The new arm slot allowed Manaea's sinker to play better at the top of the zone, and he also found the strike zone more consistently, cutting his walk rate from 10.1 percent to 6.2 percent. A pitcher elevating his ceiling rarely happens in their 30s, but when it does it's usually because of a tangible change like Manaea made. It will cost fantasy managers more in 2025 to find out whether he can carry over his late-season success. There's also no change of scenery to consider since he re-signed with the Mets on a three-year, $75 million deal. Read Past Outlooks

Facing hitters Thursday
Manaea (oblique) will throw live batting practice Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Manaea will face hitters for the first time since being placed on the 15-day injured list Feb. 24 due to a strained left oblique. The next step in his recovery will be a rehab assignment, though he may throw multiple live sessions before heading out. While he'll likely need several rehab appearances before being activated, Manaea is on track to make his 2025 MLB in early July.

A trip to Driveline last offseason helped Manaea unlock more velocity, with the 93.6 mph he averaged with his four-seamer in 2023 representing more than a two-mph jump from 2022. He also had a 25.7 percent strikeout rate which was just a hair off his career high. Manaea's bottom-line results were uneven, though, due in part to a walk rate that climbed for a third straight year to a career-worst 8.4 percent. The left-hander also never seemed to settle into his hybrid role with the Giants, as he was used as a starter, bulk reliever and short reliever at various points. Manaea did finish strong after being used as a traditional starter in his final four appearances, which might have convinced him to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract. There's a path to mixed-league relevancy if Manaea lands in a good situation, particularly if his velocity gains hold. That said, Manaea has rarely been a consistent fantasy option in his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Contract likely to top $75 million
Manaea's contract is expected to top the three-year, $75 million deal signed by Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Manaea's track record has much more inconsistency than Eovaldi's, but he's also two years younger and thrived down the stretch for the Mets in 2024 after lowering his arm slot. The left-hander rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets, so the club that signs him must forfeit a trade pick in addition to dishing out a hefty sum of money.
