Sean Manaea, a New York Mets starting pitcher, has received medical clearance to resume throwing after a follow-up MRI showed improvement on his right oblique injury. Although the team has lost second baseman Jeff McNeil for Opening Day, this news brings relief to the Mets, who are currently facing multiple injury issues. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted Manaea's symptom-free progress, indicating he can begin building back towards a starting role. Manaea is expected to return in mid to late April as the team's No. 2 starter, emphasizing his crucial role in their rotation during the upcoming season.
The good thing is he's feeling good, and there's nothing going on there. Now, it's just [throwing from] 75, 90, 120 [feet] before he gets on the mound.
Ensuring that one of last year's heroes does not miss a considerable amount of time to start the season is a significant win for a team already nursing a number of injuries.
Once Manaea gets the green light to return, he will slot in as the Mets' No. 2 starter.
He was one of New York's aces down the stretch alongside Luis Severino, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA.
