Analysis: Should Tigers consider using Matt Manning as a trade chip? The crux of the issue is, would acquiring one more proven, top-tier starting pitcher make the Tigers sure-fire contenders in 2022?
Shines in no-decision Manning pitched five scoreless innings against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Manning's final start of his rookie campaign was arguably his finest, as the right-hander yielded a season-low two hits while tossing his first scoreless outing. He also notched a season-high seven strikeouts, but a late-game collapse by Detroit's bullpen cost him a victory. Manning enjoyed some bright moments throughout the season, though he wraps up the campaign with a 5.80 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 4-7 record. He should be a key part of the Tigers' rotation in 2022.

Ineffective through 3.1 Manning (4-7) got the loss Monday after pitching 3.1 innings and giving up six runs to the White Sox. He allowed four hits, walked five and struck out two.
Impact The 23-year-old pitched three scoreless before imploding in the top of the fourth inning. He allowed six consecutive batters to reach base before being pulled with one out, ultimately surrendering six runs in the inning. After a three-start streak of three or less runs given up, his ERA went from an already disappointing 5.73 to 6.16 in this one. Manning's next start is expected to come Saturday against the White Sox again.

Looks sharp in win Manning (4-6) tossed six innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Wednesday against the Brewers. He allowed two hits and three walks while striking out six.
Impact This was probably the best start of Manning's rookie campaign, as he struck out a season-high six batters and tied a season high with the six innings pitched. There was some concern the 23-year-old might miss this start after taking a liner off his left knee in his last outing, but he looked no worse for the wear. It's still been mostly a struggle this year for Manning with a 5.75 ERA, though he's allowed just two total runs across his last two starts. The righty will look to build on the positive momentum in his next scheduled appearance Monday against the White Sox.

Ready to start Wednesday The Tigers list Manning (knee) as their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Manning's inclusion in Detroit's pitching schedule this week implies the team has no concern about the health of his left knee, which was struck by a line drive in his last outing Sept. 8 in Pittsburgh. Though Manning was pulled early from the start as a result, his exit looks to have been precautionary, as he escaped with little more than a bruise on the knee. Since joining the big-league rotation in mid-June, Manning has gone 3-6 with a 6.14 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 66 innings over 14 starts.

X-rays confirm bruise Manning (knee) had X-rays come back negative after leaving Wednesday's start against the Pirates, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manning was struck on the left knee by a liner during the third inning, and the initial diagnosis of a contusion was confirmed when the X-rays came back clean. The 23-year-old didn't factor in the decision after giving up one run on four hits with four strikeouts and zero walks in three innings. He should be considered day-to-day, and it's currently unclear if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation.

Exits with knee contusion Manning was removed from Wednesday's start at Pittsburgh with a left knee contusion.
Impact Manning was hit in the knee by a line drive on the final out of the third inning, which spelled an early end to his start. The 23-year-old was pitching well prior to being hit and allowed one run on four hits with four strikeouts and zero walks in three frames. The Tigers are currently leading, but he'll end up with a no-decision since he didn't last the five required innings. It's unclear if the injury will affect his next turn through the rotation.
