Tigers pitcher Matt Manning missed a lot of the 2023 MLB Season after being hit in the foot with a hard-hit grounder in April, an injury that knocked him out of action for 77 days. 

On Wednesday night bad luck struck again for Manning, as he was hit in the same foot with a 119.5-mph grounder by Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, a hit that broke his foot and knocked Manning out for the rest of the season. 

Manning went out in style, however, as he was somehow able to make a play on the ball and get Stanton out at first.
