Morning Briefing: Manaea to Start Rehab Assignment
Good morning, Mets fans!
Despite injuries to their starting rotation throughout the season, the Mets lead MLB in team ERA. The Mets rotation is rolling, but New York’s staff is getting some reinforcements to help make their pitching attack even stronger. Frankie Montas has begun making rehab starts and now Sean Manaea is expected to make his first rehab start for High-A Brooklyn this Friday. The Mets’ 2024 breakout star is slated to throw two innings or 35 pitches as he comes back from a right oblique strain.
On Wednesday, the Mets secured a season series victory over the Dodgers Wednesday night, topping Los Angeles by a score of 6-1. Griffin Canning threw another gem, going six shutout innings, while Pete Alonso bludgeoned the Dodgers with two home runs and five RBI.
The Amazins‘ will look to grab a series victory over the Dodgers on Thursday as David Peterson (4-2, 2.69 ERA) will face Landon Knack (3-2, 4.58 ERA) in the four-game sets’ finale.
