The New York Mets (38-23) entered Wednesday with the best record in the NL, and their pitching is a big reason why. They lead baseball with a 2.86 team ERA, and only three of their hurlers with multiple appearances this season have an ERA above 4.00.

The 33-year-old went 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 32 starts in his first season as a Met last year. His ERA ranked 20th in baseball, while his WHIP ranked 11th. He was also 19th with 184 strikeouts.
Manaea started as a rookie with the Athletics in 2016 before pitching for the San Diego Padres in 2022 and the San Francisco Giants in 2023. The southpaw went 2-1 with a 4.74 ERA across four playoff starts last year.
Manaea is 77-62 with a 4.00 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 228 career regular-season appearances.

Eagles' Fullback Comments Take New Light in Waiver Claim
Eagles' Fullback Comments Take New Light in Waiver Claim originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie turned heads during league meetings this offseason when he declared that the organization hoped to bring back the fullback position in 2025. Advertisement Their latest pickup may not be a true fullback, but he certainly sheds new light on the comment about change in general. The Eagles claimed running back/return specialist Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson was a fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft and recorded just five offensive snaps during his rookie campaign. So what's the big deal? The Alabama and Texas product recorded over 900 kick-return yards in college while adding over 1,100 yards from scrimmage on the offensive side of the ball. At 5-9 and 183 pounds, Robinson is hardly a fullback; he's the farthest thing from that. Advertisement He is set up to compete for a spot on the practice squad. ... but his experience as a returner could also help the team. The organization signed Avery Williams in the offseason, which could be seen as adding competition to the role. Hypothetically, though, let's say Robinson can earn a spot on the game-day roster. Can he add a wrinkle as an extra back? This waiver claim of Robinson isn't specific to the fullback position ... but it does show Philadelphia's continuous pursuit to run the football is never-ending. And it's not just because of Saquon Barkley's excellence, either. The organization has truly committed to bringing players who can operate a run-first offense. ... with more news about what can be done with a fullback maybe on the horizon.

Now or Never For Eagles' Young Cornerback
Now or Never For Eagles' Young Cornerback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have spent plenty of draft capital on defensive players out of the University of Georgia. Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith, and Smael Mondon Jr. are just some of the more recent names who have been selected by Philadelphia in the draft process recently. Advertisement And there is one more Georgia player who was a part of their National Championship defense ... Cornerback Kelee Ringo was Georgia's top defensive back during their title-winning days. He was taken by the Eagles in the fourth round of the 2023 draft and has sat behind veterans like Darius Slay and James Bradberry for the last two years. With both veterans gone, it is in a sense "now or never'' for Ringo to prove he can be a starter in the league. In limited action, Ringo has been pretty good at the cornerback position. Pro Football Focus graded out his sophomore season at a respectable 65.8. That is considered above average for the cornerback position. Advertisement Philadelphia will not simply give Ringo a starting role. He will be competing with veteran Adoree Jackson for that key role opposite second-year corner Quinyon Mitchell on the outside. It seems silly to think that a player in just his third year in the league is in a "do or die" situation. Especially one as young as Ringo. Despite his two years in the league, he is still just 22 years old. But Ringo isn't just looking to find a home on special teams. He may be Philadelphia's top special-teams player, but Ringo has far bigger goals. Ringo wants to start on the outside. If he can't beat out a player like Jackson—someone who has never played in the Vic Fangio system—then when will it happen? Advertisement He may have a spot on the roster as a special-teams ace, but if he wants to make his mark as a starter, his approach needs to be of the "now or never'' variety.

NEW YORK — New York Yankees hitting coach James Rowson was ejected in the fourth inning Saturday night against the Boston Red Sox for arguing balls and strikes. Rowson was frustrated by plate umpire Bruce Dreckman's strike zone and the situation escalated when the coach was upset by a called strike on Jasson Domínguez, whose at-bat ended with a strikeout.
