Manning (foot) has had a normal offseason throwing routine and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Manning sustained a fractured foot after being struck by a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton in September. The injury ended his 2023 season, though it doesn't seem like it should impact the righty in 2024. Manning finished last year with a solid 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 78 innings (15 starts), though he struck out only 50 batters.
Matt Manning Placed on IL
The Tigers placed Manning on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right foot fracture.
Analysis: Manning has already been ruled out for the rest of the season, so his move to the injured list is simply procedural. His roster spot will be filled by Trey Wingenter, who was brought up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.
