Tigers Shut Down Matt Manning, Alex Faedo

By Steve Adams | August 27, 2020 at 4:27pm CDT

The Tigers have shut down pitching prospects Matt Manning and Alex Faedo for the remainder of the season, GM Al Avila announced to reporters (including Chris McCosky of the Detroit News).  Both right-handers have been diagnosed with right forearm strains, though Avila emphasized that four different specialists examined the pair to ensure that there was not a more severe injury at play.

“We wanted to be super cautious,” Avila said. “We just wanted to be sure we were right in our assessment, that it was not going to be a big deal and we were prescribing the right course of rehab.”

With Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal already making their MLB debuts this season, bringing Manning and Faedo up to the active roster would have given Detroit fans an early preview of what the Tigers hope will be their rotation core for the next decade.  Even before the forearm problems, however, Faedo missed the Tigers’ summer camp due to COVID-19, and McCosky notes that Manning was dealing with mechanical issues both in summer camp and dating all the way back to Spring Training.

In terms of who could replace Manning and Faedo in the 60-man player pool, Avila said the club is “looking at adding prospects from within the organization,” though “we do have a list of players outside the organization who, if we needed to in an emergency go out and sign.”  Avila didn’t mention the possibility of a trade, though since the 13-16 Tigers are only two games out of a wild card berth, it isn’t out of the question that the club could make an addition before the trade deadline.

      The fact the Tigers are 13-16, is pretty dang surprising..They’ve done an excellent job fielding an competitive team this season, especially when EVERYONE expecting them to be dead last and fighting for the worst record in baseball..

      Obviously, they have been helped by competing against the weakest teams in the AL and NL Central, but still even so no one expected them to still be so competitive..

      Romine and Schoop have proven to be some excellent veteran additions to this young ball club, and hopefully they’re able to keep it up. I’m not entirely sure how they’re going to continue winning games, with such a dearth of pitching options, but the future is definitely bright in Detroit..And to be able to say that alone I think is much more than most Tiger’s fans expected going into this season..

        Tigers better than expected for sure so far. ALC does no favors for them (other than KC) with Minn/Cle/WSox all legit good clubs for different reasons.

      Really? So exactly what did we turn down for Boyd the last two seasons? That is just it, we never got any legitimate offers for Boyd. Had we traded him for mediocre prospects everyone would have screamed bloody murder. Fact is, Boyd is a mediocre pitcher, at best and he is never going to yield anything more than mediocre in return.

    Why should MLBTR EVER shut off comments? Are the powers that be afraid of what they will see? They should.

      If this site is promoting censorship, how come every post they’ve made today has at least 1 or 2 mouthbreathers complaining in the comments?

    Trade Schoop. Maybe get an 18-19 y/o prospect or two. A bat(s) preferably.

    Tigers have a ton of games to make up (St Louis and now Minny) and players heads are all over the place while competing against other sports to see who can be the most woke. This season is one for the ages.

    Just send the Dodgers to the WS. Let the Yankees and Rays play for the A.L. title.

    Play a best of 11 WS.

        GM/father I thought went by just Al while catcher/son is Alex.

    I know that they’ve yet to actually pitch all that well in the majors, but the fact that the Tigers have essentially hit on all of their past few 1st round picks – and developed these 4 pitchers to the point where they’re legitimate prospects and quite possibly ML-Ready SPs is really quite impressive. Other teams are lucky if they can develop 1 SP over the course of 3/4 years of draft picks and the Tigers have essentially developed almost an entire rotation. I realize there’s still a ways to go and that Mize and Skubal havent exactly been lights out since being called up. But as a non-Tigers fan I do still have to admit that I’m impressed with what they’ve done thus far.

      Skoob is doing great. You can see his poise. Lest you forget, he was plucked from the 9th round (255 overall).

      Mize has NOT been impressive since his injury last season in Erie. I think he’s still hurt. His command is very inconsistent.

    Tigers/Twins walked away from Thursday night’s game and today’s makeup doubleheader is rained out. So what now? 2 doubleheaders, back to back, over the weekend? 4 seven inning games in a little over 24 hours? What is this? Travel baseball?
