The Mets activated pitcher Sean Manaea from the 60-day injured list, marking his season debut after recovering from an oblique strain and elbow issues. Despite a rough rehab performance, his return is expected to strengthen the Mets' rotation, which is now fully healthy, though they may still seek additional pitching help during the trade season. Austin Warren was optioned to Triple-A following Manaea's activation.
The Baltimore Orioles are considering Sean Manaea as a potential addition to their pitching rotation after missing out on top-tier pitchers like Max Fried. Manaea, a free agent, had a strong 2024 season with the Mets, posting a 3.47 ERA and earning down-ballot Cy Young votes. His market value is estimated at around $68-71 million for a multi-year deal, making him a feasible option for the Orioles as they explore mid-tier pitching talent.
The Oakland Athletics have made a surprising move by signing Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million contract, marking the largest in franchise history. This indicates a shift in the A's spending strategy, as they aim for a $100 million payroll. Additionally, they reportedly made a significant offer to free agent pitcher Sean Manaea before securing Severino. With a projected payroll of $58 million, the A's have room to add more high-value players, potentially sacrificing draft picks to bolster their roster as they prepare for their move to Sutter Home Park.
The San Francisco Giants will exercise their club option on pitcher Alex Cobb for the 2024 season, despite his recent hip surgery. Cobb has been a solid performer for the Giants, with a 3.80 ERA over 301 innings. In another pitching development, Sean Manaea has opted out of the final year of his contract, choosing to test free agency after a decent season with the Giants. The team is now looking to add stability to their rotation and is considering options such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The San Francisco Giants' bullpen has been the stabilizing force the team needed after an abysmal April, with a recent surge in success since May 2. The team's selfless attitude and willingness to buy into the mission has fostered a supportive and winning environment, with players stepping up and being flexible in their roles. Despite the collective groans from the fanbase, the Giants have a decent track record in bullpen games and have used this approach as much if not more than any other team in MLB the past few seasons. The bullpen's recent success is not due to any major adjustments by the pitchers or the coaching staff, but rather guys finally settling in and finding their groove.
Ross Stripling will return to the rotation as the San Francisco Giants go for a sweep against the Philadelphia Phillies. Stripling and Sean Manaea have both struggled this season, with the fifth spot in the rotation up for grabs. With Alex Wood returning from the Injured List on Friday, the rotation now has four set names. Stripling will have to perform well to keep his spot.
The San Francisco Giants are considering changes to their starting rotation as Sean Manaea continues to struggle, with a 7.96 ERA through eight appearances. The team is listing "TBA" for all four games in their upcoming series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and manager Gabe Kapler said they are continuing to have discussions about pitching plans. Lefty Kyle Harrison, who dominated in his last Triple-A start, could be a potential solution, while Alex Wood's return from injury could push either Manaea or Ross Stripling back to the bullpen.
The San Francisco Giants lost 11-6 to the Washington Nationals, with Sean Manaea struggling as the starting pitcher. The Nationals took an early lead and never looked back, with Tristen Beck taking over for Manaea in the third inning. Despite some late runs from the Giants, it was too little too late. Casey Schmitt had a solid game, going 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit. The Giants now face the Arizona Diamondbacks in a four-game series.
Sean Manaea claimed his first win in a San Francisco Giants uniform as the team put the ball in play against Milwaukee Brewers Corbin Burnes, collecting a 6-4 win. Manaea struggled with consistency to start the 2023 season, but he gritted through a long 1st and kept the game in reach against a tough starter in Burnes. J.D. Davis hit his 7th home run of the season and leads the club, while four key instances of contact in 2-strike counts in the 5th set up and delivered the eventual winning run for the Giants.
The Mexico City Series saw a unique national anthem standoff between Nick Martinez and Sean Manaea, who remained on the field for over six minutes after the anthem. Martinez wore the Padres' home run sombrero, while Manaea was presented with a Lucha Libre mask. Eventually, two umpires asked them to disperse, and Manaea walked to the visitors' dugout. Martinez lifted his sombrero, saluted the crowd, and let out a roar.
The San Francisco Giants hit seven home runs, including four in the fifth inning, to power past the Chicago White Sox 12-3 in their home opener.

The Giants are now 2-2 on their season-opening road trip.
