Overview

  • Sean Manaea was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on July 13 and will make his first appearance of the season in relief during Sunday’s finale against Kansas City.
  • He logged six rehab outings with Triple-A Syracuse, including a 73-pitch, 3⅔-inning performance in his final start before activation.
  • His return fills the final vacancy in New York’s planned rotation, which now features healthy aces Kodai Senga and Frankie Montas.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza intends to piggyback Manaea with starter Clay Holmes to ensure a measured return to major league action.
  • Manaea’s rehab followed a right oblique strain in spring training and a subsequent shutdown for a loose elbow body, testing his road back to the mound.
