Mets' Manaea Seeks Bullpen Role, Young Shines

0:00On March 31st, Metz starter Sean Manayah is scratching his head over how to stay sharp in the bullpen. After tossing just one and a third, scoreless innings and relief against the Cardinals, he admitted he is not sure how to build up arm strength without. Regular starts. The team won that match of 4-2, but Manayah threw 29 pitches with two walks in one hit. He is hoping for piggyback spots where he can go, three or four innings to mimic starter work. Manager Carlos Mendoza says they will decide on pitch limits like 40 or 50 per outing or keep it short. Manayah could slide into a sixth starter role during the next homestand at home. Polanco has been nursing Achilles Soreness for two days straight, so he stuck to designated hitter duties. That opened first base for Jared Young, who smacked a double and drove in a run while going one for four. He is the third different guy to start there this year after Palanco and Brett Beatty. Luis Robert Jr. sat to save his legs during this nine game stretch without a break.

These tweaks keep the meds flexible as they grind through injuries and a packed schedule setting up intriguing choices ahead. That's the story for today. New York meds news today, driven by AI.
