May 20 2024Manager Torey Lovullo said Mantiply will serve as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed Mantiply has limited opposing lefties to a .275 wOBA over his career, so the Diamondbacks will likely hope that he can limit the damage from the Dodgers' usual Nos. 2 and 3 hitters -- left-handed batters Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman -- before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Monday had been Slade Cecconi's turn in the rotation, and the expectation is that he'll work behind Mantiply in bulk relief.
May 9 2024Mantiply struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to record his first save of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Paul Sewald unavailable after making his season debut Tuesday and Kevin Ginkel struggling to shut the door in the ninth inning, Mantiply got the call and fanned Will Benson before getting Jonathan India to fly out with the winning run on second base for Cincy. Sewald will be the top option for saves in the Arizona bullpen, but as the team's top lefty reliever, Mantiply could see further situational chances. He's been reasonably effective this season, posting a 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB through 15.1 innings.
Apr 11 2024Mantiply (1-0) picked up Wednesday's win over Colorado, retiring the lone batter faced in the eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply entered to get the final out of the inning against the lefty-hitting Michael Toglia. That put the pitcher in line for the win when the Diamondbacks scored two runs in the top of the ninth. Following a rough season debut during which he allowed two runs, the left-hander has authored five consecutive scoreless outings. Mantiply will continue to work as part of the bridge to fill-in closer Kevin Ginkel.
Apr 6 2024Mantiply allowed a walk over a scoreless inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply's effort spanned the seventh and eighth innings and was his third straight scoreless outing after he ceded a pair of runs in his regular-season debut. The lefty could be used at any time in a game and is one of two southpaws in the bullpen.
Mar 2 2024Mantiply allowed one hit and hit two batters over a scoreless inning in Friday's spring game against Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply loaded the bases with one out but wriggled out of the jam by inducing a 5-2-3 double play. That he faced adversity and pitched out it is the positive spin on the left-hander's first Cactus League appearance. He's expected to occupy a spot in the bullpen to open the season, but the one-time high-leverage option needs better results to reclaim a trusted role in 2024. Mantiply recorded a 4.62 ERA with a diminished strikeout rate and increased walk rate in 2023.
Jan 11 2024Mantiply signed a one-year, $935,000 contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply lost his role as a high-leverage option out of the Arizona bullpen in 2023, as he posted a 4.62 ERA across 39 innings in the majors. He saw a significant dip in strikeouts and his lack of velocity could continue to lead to inconsistent results.
Oct 30 2023Mantiply will work as the opener for Game 4 of the World Series against the Rangers on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply last pitched during Game 1, striking out one batter over a scoreless inning of relief work. He figures to work the first inning or so before handing the ball to a primary pitcher. The Diamondbacks have yet to reveal any pitching plans past Mantiply, but Ryne Nelson would figure to be one of the top candidates to get outs, as he's yet to take the mound this series.
Oct 19 2023Mantiply will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Phillies on Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply has made four appearances during Arizona's postseason run, but he was roughed up in Game 2 against the Phillies, when he allowed three earned runs while recording just one out. He's likely to pitch only one inning, with Ryne Nelson a strong candidate to cover bulk innings after him.
Sep 10 2023Mantiply will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 32-year-old will make his third start of the season as the Diamondbacks decided to go with an opener ahead of expected primary pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who was originally scheduled to start the contest. Mantiply has covered as much as three frames in an appearance this season, but he's likely to pitch only an inning or two Sunday.
Aug 21 2023Mantiply is scheduled to work as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply hasn't tossed more than three innings in any of his 31 appearances in the majors or minors this season and hasn't exceeded two innings in more than two months, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the Texas batting order before exiting the contest. Slade Cecconi, who had initially been listed as Arizona's scheduled starter for Monday, will most likely work in bulk relief behind Mantiply.
Aug 15 2023Mantiply will serve as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After taking the loss in relief in Monday's series opener at Coors Field while failing to retire any of the three batters he faced en route to allowing three earned runs, Mantiply will get back on the hill Tuesday and attempt to right the ship. He tossed only 11 pitches Monday, so Mantiply should be able to give Arizona an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Arizona hasn't named a designated bulk reliever for the day, but manager Torey Lovullo could lean heavily on either Slade Cecconi or Bryce Jarvis, both of whom have started in the minors for most of the season and are available on three days' rest.
Aug 14 2023Mantiply will work as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply will be asked to navigate the first inning or so before handing the ball to a primary pitcher. However, the team has yet to reveal who will be called upon in long relief. The lefty has made four appearances so far in August, surrendering three runs on three hits and one walk while fanning three over 4.1 innings.
Aug 1 2023The Diamondbacks recalled Mantiply from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply has taken a major step back this season, accumulating a 5.74 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 15.2 innings in the majors this season (2.85 ERA in 2022). He hasn't fared well in Triple-A either, but he'll still be called upon to provide Arizona's bullpen with a fresh arm. Peter Strzelecki, who was acquired in a trade with the Brewers on Tuesday, was optioned in a corresponding move.
Jul 22 2023Mantiply was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply was up for a few days while Andrew Chafin was on paternity leave but now heads back to Reno with Chafin back in the fold. The 2022 All-Star has had a tougher time in 2023 with a 5.74 ERA in 13 appearances.
Jul 19 2023Arizona recalled Mantiply from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply was optioned to Reno at the end of June and had allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 6.2 innings of relief since that demotion. The 32-year-old left-hander figures to operate in a low-leverage bullpen role in his return to the major-league level.
Jun 27 2023The Diamondbacks optioned Mantiply to Triple-A Reno on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 2022 All-Star's move to the minors comes after he surrendered eight earned runs over eight innings across his five relief appearances since Arizona reinstated him from the 15-day injured list June 12. The Diamondbacks haven't announced a corresponding roster move for Mantiply, who could be back in the Arizona bullpen after stringing together a few quality appearances at Triple-A.
Jun 12 2023The Diamondbacks reinstated Mantiply (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 2022 All-Star will rejoin the Arizona bullpen after he had been on the shelf for just over a month with a right hamstring strain. Maniply received the green light to return from the IL after making a pair of minor-league rehab appearances last week.
Jun 3 2023Mantiply (hamstring) threw in an Arizona Complex League game Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply followed up a 25-pitch live batting practice session Tuesday with Friday's competition in a game environment. Arizona decision makers will consider the next steps for the left-hander this weekend.
May 31 2023Mantiply (hamstring) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply was expected to throw a second session this week, but manager Torey Lovullo left open the option of the left-hander beginning a rehab assignment as the next step.
May 23 2023Mantiply (hamstring) will throw bullpen sessions Tuesday and Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply, who opened the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury, felt discomfort in his right hamstring while warming up May 11. The left-hander was effective during his brief spell off the IL, posting a 2.35 ERA with eight strikeouts over 7.2 innings.
May 20 2023Mantiply (hamstring) will throw off flat ground Saturday, the Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This will mark Mantiply's first activity since being placed on the injured list retroactive to May 9.
May 12 2023Arizona placed Mantiply on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 9, with a right hamstring strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anthony Misiewicz has been called up from Triple-A Reno to replace Mantiply in a lefty relief role. Mantiply, 32, was sporting a sharp 2.35 ERA with eight strikeouts and zero walks through 7.2 innings this season. He's expected to be out 3-to-4 weeks.
Apr 4 2023Mantiply (shoulder) has thrown two bullpen sessions since opening the season on the 15-day injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply is eligible to come off the IL on April 11. The left-hander was a key piece of the bullpen last season but isn't currently considered a closer candidate for 2023, although he's expected to be used in the final third of games.
Mar 31 2023The Diamondbacks placed Mantiply on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation prior to Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Assuming Mantiply's shoulder issue is in fact nothing more significant than inflammation, he could be in store for a minimum-length stay on the shelf, or close to it. Since his placement on the IL is retroactive to March 27, he'll first be eligible for activation April 11.
Mar 4 2023Mantiply allowed one run and struck out one over a scoreless eighth inning in Friday's spring game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply hasn't allowed a run over two Cactus League outings. With Arizona's closer situation described as "fluid" by manager Torey Lovullo, Mantiply is part of crew that could get late-inning work. Mark Melancon is likely the frontrunner, but he was roughed up in his spring debut, which focuses speculation about Mantiply, Kevin Ginkel and Andrew Chafin. Mantiply had a strong season in 2022, sporting a 2.85 ERA and 22 holds; however, he blew six of eight save opportunities, as Lovullo auditioned several arms when Melancon lost control of the job.
Oct 3 2022Mantiply suffered a blown save after he pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply was called upon to protect a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, but quickly ran into trouble. The left-hander surrendered a solo home run to Hunter Renfroe to open the frame before Christian Yelich and Kolten Wong came around to score on an error with two outs in the inning. The reliever was removed from the contest with two outs in the ninth and the score knotted up at 4-4, resulting in his sixth blown save of the campaign. Mantiply has now gone 2-for-8 on save opportunities this year while posting a 2.85 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 61 strikeouts over 60 innings in 69 appearances in 2022.
Sep 21 2022Mantiply allowed three hits and three inherited runners to score while striking out two over one inning, picking up a blown save in a 6-5 loss to the Dodgers in first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona's bullpen blew up in the eighth inning with Caleb Smith, Kevin Ginkel and Mantiply letting a 5-1 lead slip away. Mantiply entered with none out and the bases loaded -- an unpleasant task against MLB's best team. The left-hander also pitched in the second game of the doubleheader, notching his 21st hold in one-third of an inning, so it would appear manager Torey Lovullo still has confidence in Mantiply despite a shaky stretch during which he's pitched to an 8.00 ERA over 13 outings.
Sep 8 2022Mantiply allowed one run on two hits while striking out one over one inning in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: At a time when manager Torey Lovullo indicated the team's closer situation is "fluid," per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, Mantiply is experiencing his worst stretch of the season. The left-hander has allowed runs in five of his last eight outings, posting a 12.71 ERA while allowing two home runs over 5.2 innings.
Sep 4 2022Mantiply (2-5) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to pick up the loss to Milwaukee on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona's bullpen collectively blew this game, but it was Mantiply that served up a 428-foot, two-run home run to Tyrone Taylor in the 10th inning. The left-hander was a well-deserving All Star for a strong first half, but he's fallen on rough times the last two weeks, during which he's allowed eight runs (seven earned) and two homers over 4.2 innings. "At this point, I kind of recently feel like a liability a little bit," Mantiply told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "It's tough to swallow." Arizona manager Torey Lovullo mentioned Mantiply as a reliever that could get save opportunities, but it sounds like his confidence has been shaken.
Aug 25 2022Mantiply did not retire a batter and gave up three runs on three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply entered a tied game with a runner on first and let the game get away, allowing two singles and a three-run home run. He's pitched effectively when starting a clean inning, but he has allowed 10 of 24 inherited runners to score (42 percent) this year. One might think the left-hander would be better at preventing inherited runners from scoring, given Mantiply sports a 2.66 ERA, rarely issues walks (0.7 BB/9), keeps the ball in the park (0.7 HR/9) and does a good job stranding his own runners (76.6%).
Aug 17 2022Mantiply allowed one hit while striking out three over one inning to earn a hold in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply locked down the eighth inning, a feat he's accomplishing with regularity, before Ian Kennedy blew the save in the ninth. The left-hander has made 11 consecutive scoreless appearances, picking up five holds while striking out 11 and walking two over 9.1 innings. Mantiply has yet to be handed a save opportunity since Mark Melancon was removed from the role, but manager Torey Lovullo indicated earlier that he has no problem rolling with Mantiply if left-handers are due up.
Aug 8 2022Mantiply struck out one over a scoreless 1.1 innings in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply did not get a win, hold or save, but his pitching contribution was the most important. With Arizona leading 2-0 entering the sixth inning, reliever Kevin Ginkel failed to retire any of the six batters faced, so it was up to Mantiply to put out the fire. The high-leverage left-hander is in the mix for saves now that Mark Melancon is no longer the full-time closer, but he may be more valuable as a fireman. Mantiply has made six consecutive scoreless appearances and sports a 1.42 ERA over 6.1 innings since the break. He doesn't blow away hitters with a high-velo fastball (90.4 mph), but Mantiply gets outs, keeps the ball in the park (0.6 HR/9) and hasn't walked many (four over 43 IP).
Aug 5 2022Mantiply will be part of a ninth-inning committee going forward in Arizona, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old southpaw has a 4.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 12 strikeouts, zero wins, zero saves and couple losses over his last 12.2 innings. Ian Kennedy seems like the more likely saves leader for the Diamondbacks going forward after Mark Melancon was removed from the role.
Jul 12 2022Mantiply allowed one run on two hits and one walk over a third of an inning in Monday's 4-3 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply, Arizona's lone representative at the All-Star Game, appears to be the high-leverage reliever of choice for manager Torey Lovullo after Ian Kennedy (calf) landed on the injured list. Since Kennedy's addition to the IL, Mantiply has been called upon to work the eighth inning of a close game on three occasions. It hasn't gone well for the left-hander, who picked up a hold Monday but has allowed four runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings. He was charged with a loss, letting an inherited runner score a game-winning run while being unable to finish the inning Monday. The walk was just the second Mantiply has allowed and first since Opening Day.
Jul 7 2022Mantiply (1-2) allowed three runs on two hits and a hit batsman over one inning, taking the loss to San Francisco on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply came on to start the eighth inning with the Diamondbacks holding a 4-2 lead but was unable to preserve it for closer Mark Melancon. A narrow eighth-inning lead normally falls under the purview of Ian Kennedy, but a calf injury landed him on the 15-day injured list. Mantiply has been one of the better arms out of the Arizona bullpen, posting a 1.13 ERA before Wednesday's outing bumped it to 1.91 ERA (2.20 FIP) over 33 innings.
May 20 2022Mantiply pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn his fourth hold in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply closed out the final two batters of the seventh inning then a third batter to lead off the eighth before letting Ian Kennedy shepherd the lead for closer Mark Melancon. Two of the three batted balls allowed had exit velocities over 100 mph, but those were infield grounders easily handled, including two by the pitcher himself. The left-hander has allowed only one urn over 15.2 innings, during which he's fanned 13 and walked one.
May 3 2022Mantiply didn't allow a baserunner and earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins. He did not record a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old picked up his second save of the season Tuesday since closer Mark Melancon (undisclosed) is on the COVID-19 injured list. Ian Kennedy has recorded two saves with Melancon sidelined, but Mantiply is also with the mix as Arizona's fill-in closer. Mantiply is unscored upon through 10 innings this season and has a 0.70 WHIP and 4:1 K:BB.
Apr 24 2022Mantiply struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of his career in a 5-2 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Mark Melancon having pitched Thursday and Friday, the Diamondbacks had to look elsewhere to protect a late lead. Ian Kennedy came out for the eighth inning against the heart of New York's order, and with three lefties due up in the ninth for the Mets, Mantiply got the nod, although he wound up facing two right-handed pinch hitters in Mark Canha and J.D. Davis. Mantiply has had a solid start to the season, posting a 0.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 3:1 K:BB through 6.2 innings over seven appearances with a win and two holds in addition to Saturday's save.
Apr 13 2022Mantiply allowed one hit over one-third of a inning in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks got effective work from their middle relievers Tuesday. Mantiply was one of four that combined for three scoreless innings before closer Mark Melancon lost the game in the ninth. Mantiply is lumped in with J.B. Wendelken and Noe Ramirez as guys that will work the sixth and seventh innings before Ian Kennedy and Melancon finish games. He's made three scoreless appearances, giving up two hits and a walk with one strikeout over 2.1 innings.
Aug 24 2021Mantiply allowed one run on one hit and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning in Monday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks had a 5-2 lead entering the seventh inning, but the combination of Taylor Clarke and Mantiply let the Pirates tie it up. Mantiply made his first appearance since Aug. 12 after spending time on the COVID-19 injury list. He, like several others in the bullpen, are pitching for spots on next season's roster.
Aug 23 2021Mantiply (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply spent just over a week on the COVID-19 IL due to contact tracing after starting pitcher Merrill Kelly tested positive for the virus. The 30-year-old southpaw has made eight relief appearances for the Diamondbacks, and he's recorded a 3.38 ERA and 2.25 WHIP with four holds in 5.1 innings during that time.
Aug 15 2021The Diamondbacks placed Mantiply on the injured list Sunday without a designation, implying he's been moved to the COVID-19-related IL. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As Steve Gilbert of MLB.com notes, manager Torey Lovullo said following Saturday's win over the Padres that the Diamondbacks were conducting contact tracing after starting pitcher Merrill Kelly tested positive for COVID-19, and Mantiply appears to have been at potential risk of infection. The reliever previously spent time on the COVID-19-related IL earlier this month, but because he was deactivated for less than 10 day, he wasn't believed to have tested positive for the virus. Since the beginning of July, Mantiply has emerged as a key setup reliever for Arizona, posting a 4.66 ERA while gathering seven holds over the past month and a half.
Aug 6 2021Mantiply was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Friday's game against the Padres, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply has been on the COVID-19 IL since July 30, and given that he's been reinstated in less than 10 days, it seems unlikely that he ever tested positive for the virus. The southpaw will take a 4.13 ERA and 21:12 K:BB into Friday's game. Fellow left-hander Ryan Buchter was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding roster move.
Jul 30 2021Mantiply was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply was one of several Diamondbacks who landed on the injured list Friday, although it's not clear whether he's tested positive for the virus. If the southpaw hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols.
May 15 2021Mantiply's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply has thrown eight career innings of relief at the big-league level without much success. He's allowed 12 runs on 13 hits while striking out six and walking eight. Chris Devenski (elbow) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
Sep 1 2020Mantiply's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mantiply made one appearance for the Yankees in 2019, but he'll now serve as a lower-leverage reliever for the Diamondbacks. He's unlikely to play a significant role given his 12.71 ERA over 5.2 major-league innings in past seasons.
Aug 12 2019Mantiply (1-0) picked up the win after surrendering three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader
Aug 11 2019Mantiply's contract was purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Mar 9 2018Mantiply had Tommy John surgery Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.Mantiply has been in camp with the Reds as a non-roster invitee. The 27-year-old lefty has just 2.2 major-league innings to his name, back in 2016, though he posted a solid 2.83 ERA in 70 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees' system in last year. The typical Tommy John recovery timeline will see Mantiply miss the entire 2018 season and a good chunk of 2019, and it could be hard for a guy in his late 20s with no real track record to find work coming off such a serious injury.
Nov 14 2017Mantiply signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Monday that includes and invitation to spring training, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.Mantiply spent all of 2017 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after failing to break camp with the Yankees. He held his own in the minors, compiling a 2.83 ERA and 62:18 K:BB in 70 innings, but never received a promotion thanks to New York's elite bullpen. He'll compete for a back-end bullpen spot for the Reds out of spring, though he could wind up at Triple-A to open the season.
