June 26, 2025 3:28 PM : Manaea (oblique/elbow) played catch Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: It's the first time he's thrown since he was given a cortisone shot after being diagnosed with a loose body in his left elbow. Manaea had to pause his rehab assignment briefly after the elbow issue popped up, but he's on track to make what is expected to be his final rehab start next week. The left-hander initially went on the injured list prior to Opening Day with an oblique strain and could make his 2025 Mets debut prior to the All-Star break.
