The New York Mets on Sunday reinstated Sean Manaea from the 60-day injured list, making him available out of the bullpen for his first MLB action of the season in an afternoon contest with the Royals in Kansas City.

The 33-year-old left-hander is set to relieve starter Clay Holmes after struggles with an elbow and oblique had previously kept him out for the Mets. In two Triple-A rehab appearances with Syracuse, Manaea had a 4.00 ERA, surrendering six hits and four runs over nine innings.

In his most recent rehab appearance, Manaea tossed 73 pitches over 3 2/3 innings on Tuesday.

Manaea, who went 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA over 32 appearances, all starts, for the Mets in 2024, is expected to work as a starter again following the All-Star break.

A 9-year veteran with stops with the Athletics (2016-21), San Diego Padres (2022), San Francisco Giants (2023) and Mets, Manaea has a career ERA of 4.00 over 228 appearances (198 starts) with 1,109 strikeouts and three shutouts.
