Sean Manaea Injury: Set for fourth rehab start Friday

Manaea (oblique) will move to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to make his fourth rehab start, Ben Krimmel of SNY.tv reports.

Manaea has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a right oblique strain, but he looks to be just a couple weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list. The veteran southpaw most recently pitched Sunday for High-A Brooklyn, covering 2.1 innings and striking out two batters while allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. After Friday's outing, Manaea is expected to make at least one more rehab start before joining the big club. His 2025 Mets debut is tentatively scheduled for a three-game set against the Brewers that starts July 1, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.
