Sean Manaea Shut Down After Shoulder Injury Diagnosed as Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

The Oakland Athletics were dealt a serious blow in the middle of the postseason race and may be without starting pitcher Sean Manaea for the remainder of the 2018 season.

According to Jane Lee of MLB.com, Manaea was "shut down indefinitely" after it was discovered he has rotator cuff tendinitis. Oakland hasn't ruled out a 2018 return, but Lee cautioned there is "a chance" he won't pitch again for the rest of the campaign.
