Just over two weeks into Sean Manaea’s reinstatement as a bulk pitcher for the Mets, the left-handed hurler is continuing to earn more trust. Manaea strung together a strong outing in a 3-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field, marking his first start of the 2026 campaign amid questions of how the Mets plan to use the 34-year-old moving forward for the remainder of the season. Going six innings, Manaea gave up just four hits and two earned runs (one homer) while registering six strikeouts in the loss.
