Fantasy Impact

Jeff Manship owns a career 6.46 ERA through 139 innings. Although he has been a starter in the past, he has only been used as a reliever this year so he is not in the running for the fifth starter job. It is difficult to see him having any fantasy value.

Non-roster invitee Jeff Manship continued his impressive spring with a 2-hit scoreless inning and one strikeout. In 7 spring games he has struck out 9 over 7 IP with 1.29 ERA.

Fantasy Impact
