Sun Oct 3 2021 | 08:51 | Matt Manning Pitches Five Scoreless Frames In Final Start |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning ended his rookie season on a high note on Saturday. Facing the Chicago White Sox, he pitched five innings and allowed two hits, one walk and no runs while striking out a season-high seven. It was his third consecutive start against the White Sox and easily his best of the three as he allowed a total of nine earned runs across his previous two before this one. The 23-year-old right-hander closes out his first season in the majors with a 4-7 record to go along with a 5.80 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP and a 14.8% strikeout rate. |

Mon Sep 27 2021 | 17:04 | Matt Manning Suffers His Seventh Loss On Monday |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning struggled in his start against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. He pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed four hits, five walks and six earned runs while striking out three. He was tagged with the loss for the game, dropping his record to 4-6 on the year. The rookie right-hander has a 5.73 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP over 16 starts this year. What's most disappointing might be the fact that he's managed just 47 strikeouts over 77 innings. He's slated to make one more start this year as he'll face the White Sox once again this coming Saturday. |

Fri Sep 24 2021 | 19:32 | Matt Manning To Start Monday |
Detroit Tigers starter Matt Manning will take the mound on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Manning has pitched to a 5.73 ERA and a 4.63 FIP in 77 innings this season. He's also struck out 47 batters while surrendering 27 walks. It's not the best matchup for the right-hander as the White Sox have scored the seventh-most runs in baseball. While the 23-year-old limited Chicago to four hits, three walks, and three runs in his last start, it's probably best to keep him on fantasy benches on Monday. |

Tue Sep 21 2021 | 08:40 | Matt Manning Allows Three Runs Over Five Innings |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning had a middling outing against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. He pitched five innings and allowed four hits, three walks and three earned runs while striking out two. He was left with a no decision in the game. The rookie right-hander had one of the best starts of his young career in his previous outing before this one. He held the Milwaukee Brewers to one run over six innings last Wednesday. Manning has had some solid starts over the past few months, but he's also had some awful games, like when he allowed eight earned runs against the Oakland Athletics in his first start of September. Manning will take a 5.73 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP into his next start against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. |

Wed Sep 15 2021 | 20:49 | Matt Manning Holds Brewers To One Run Over Six Frames |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning had one of the best starts of his young career in Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He pitched six innings and allowed two hits, three walks and one earned run while striking out six. He earned the win to improve to 4-6 on the year. Manning has been extremely inconsistent lately. He's now earned quality starts in three of his last six outings, but in his first outing of September, he was tagged for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings. He's too risky to trust for fantasy purposes at this point. His next start will be a tough one against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. |

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (knee) exited his start on Wednesday with a left knee contusion, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.

Manning had allowed one run on four hits while striking out four over three innings of work prior to his early exit. Managers should consider him day to day for now, and keep an eye out for updates on his condition later tonight. |

Sat Sep 4 2021 | 16:37 | Matt Manning Will Start On Wednesday |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning will start on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rookie has shown glimpses of why he's one of the game's best pitching prospects but has struggled at times in his first 13 starts. In 63 innings this season, the 23-year-old has pitched to a 6.29 ERA, a 5.00 FIP, 35 strikeouts, and 21 walks. He's someone to keep on your roster in dynasty leagues, but as of now he doesn't have a ton of fantasy value in redraft leagues. |

Fri Sep 3 2021 | 08:18 | Matt Manning Tagged For Eight Runs On Thursday |
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning got pummeled by the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. He pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed eight hits, three walks and eight earned runs while recording just one strikeout. The rookie had posted three consecutive solid outings before this one, including two quality starts, so it was disappointing to see him fall apart on Thursday. He now has a 6.29 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP over 13 starts on the year. He has an xBA of .292, which ranks in the bottom 2% of the league, while his 12.1% strikeout rate ranks in the bottom 1%. He's too risky to stream for fantasy purposes at this point, even though his next start will be an alluring one against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. |

Sat Aug 28 2021 | 09:00 | Matt Manning Pitches Six Strong Innings On Friday |

He pitched six innings and allowed six hits, one walk and one earned run while striking out five. It was just his third quality start of the year.

The most concerning metric for Manning may be his lack of strikeouts as he's only managed 34 strikeouts over 59.1 innings. He'll make his next start next Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. |

He'll take a 6.10 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP into his next start, which should be against the Los Angeles Angels next Thursday. |

Detroit is pitching fellow young starters Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal on extended rest for the remainder of 2021 as well.

The 23-year-old has pitched to a 6.33 ERA, a 4.68 FIP, 23 strikeouts, and 13 walks in 42.2 innings. He should probably only be utilized in deeper redraft leagues for the rest of the season. That being said, fantasy managers should keep him on their rosters in dynasty leagues. |
