It came a day later than scheduled, but Sean Manaea was back on the mound in another rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday.
The Mets southpaw tossed three-plus innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits, one walk and striking out three batters. Mendoza allowed a run in the first off a Kyle Karros single, then a Nic Kent single in the second inning that was aided by a throwing error by Jett Williams. The third run came in the third after a leadoff triple was brought in on a one-out single by Charlie Condon.
Manaea came out to start the fourth inning but walked the leadoff man on seven pitches before he was pulled.
Mets skipper Carlos Mendoza said that they expected Manaea to throw 45-50 pitches and the left-hander eclipsed that, tossing 60 pitches (39 strikes) against the Hartford Yard Goats. The extra length is likely due to Mendoza's originally scheduled Tuesday start being postponed due to weather.
Mendoza confirmed that Manaea's next rehab start will be next Tuesday, in what is likely to be his final outing in the minors before being called up to join the Mets rotation.
Although Manaea's start on Wednesday wasn't perfect, it's encouraging to see him on the mound. This was his first rehab start since an elbow issue forced the pitcher to receive a cortisone shot.
Sean Manaea went three-plus innings and threw 60 pitches in a rehab outing for Double-A Binghamton today.
