Sean Manaea Shifting to Bullpen
New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea is expected to move to the bullpen and work into Tuesday's game following starter Clay Holmes, reports Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic. He was available out of the pen on Sunday, but ultimately was not needed. The Mets have had a crowded rotation after calling up Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat, and Nolan McLean over the past month, and they are deciding to consolidate that into a standard five-man rotation for the time being. That leaves Manaea as the odd man out, as he's allowed 28 runs over his past seven starts spanning 32 ⅔ innings. The 33-year-old has struck out an impressive 64 batters in 50 innings on the season, but he has ultimately given up too much hard contact to be effective.
