Sean Manaea Labors In Short Start At Cleveland
3 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea had another rough start on Tuesday as he allowed three runs in just 1 2/3 innings at Cleveland. Manaea needed a whopping 69 pitches despite turning in his shortest outing of the season. The 29-year-old has now given up eight earned runs in his last six innings as he's scuffled a tad after a brilliant stretch where he whiffed 29 batters across 18 innings in his previous three starts. On the season, Manaea is still rocking career-bests with a 26.7% strikeout rate, a 12.4% swinging-strike rate, and a 3.43 xFIP, so fantasy managers should stick with the Oakland righty. He'll look to right the ship Sunday in a good matchup with Texas.
