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

Tosses 73 pitches in rehab start
Manaea (elbow/oblique) struck out five and allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk over 3.2 innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse.
Analysis
Manaea had some hiccups in his sixth rehab start, but he built up to 73 pitches in the outing and looks poised to return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance in the majors. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the Mets are planning on having both Manaea and Clay Holmes appear in Sunday's game in Kansas City, with the latter pitcher likely to start and the former likely to piggyback him. Though his innings count would likely be somewhat suppressed if he works behind Holmes on Sunday, Manaea could be in better position to secure a win in his 2025 MLB debut than if he were used as a starter. Manaea, who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a right oblique strain and more recently, a loose body in his pitching elbow, should have a rotation spot all to himself coming out of the All-Star break.

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.
