Sean Manaea Scouting Report:

Manaea's rookie season has been up and down so far as he had some excellent starts and some really not excellent starts. He pitched out of the bullpen for the first time this season during his last outing, but went five innings allowing two runs on three hits -- one homer -- while he walked none and struck out four.
