Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Friday, playing first base and batting second against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Shane Baz. Mancini was out of action since being hit on the right hand by a pitch on Monday, but he'll return for the weekend series against the Rays. The 30-year-old is 9-for-39 (.231) with three home runs and seven RBI in 47 plate appearances in the month of June so far, but overall he's been solid for fantasy managers with a slash line of .290/.373/.424 with six home runs, 25 RBI and 25 runs scored in 217 at-bats. Get Mancini back into your season-long lineups for the weekend.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini had another nice day at the plate in Monday's 10-0 win over the Reds Sox. Mancini went 3-for-4 with two singles, a triple, an RBI, and a walk. The power hasn't been there but everything else has, as the 30-year-old is now slashing .309/.379/.406 with three home runs and 18 RBI. He is currently rostered in just 64 percent of leagues, so he is a viable, available option for fantasy managers looking to get a boost to their lineups.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (ribs) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday, serving as the designated hitter and batting second against Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan. Mancini missed three straight games due to soreness in his ribs that was caused when he crashed into the outfield wall, but the injury wasn't serious enough to put him on the injured list. The 30-year-old slugger is off to a bit of a slow start this year, going 17-for-76 with only one home run, eight RBI and five runs scored in 20 games played. Tyler Nevin, who served as the DH on Monday, is at third base and is hitting seventh for the Orioles on Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (ribs) is out of the starting lineup again on Monday against the Minnesota Twins. It will be the third straight game out of the lineup for Mancini, who has been dealing with soreness in his ribs. Manager Brandon Hyde said that the 30-year-old was available off the bench on Sunday, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Anthony Santander will start in right field again on Monday against Twins right-hander Chris Paddack while hitting third in the lineup. Tyler Nevin is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth on Monday. Mancini has 17 hits in his first 76 at-bats on the season, including four doubles, one home run and eight RBI for a .224 average. There's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini sat out Saturday's win over the Red Sox due to some rib soreness after he ran into the wall during Friday's contest. Manager Brandon Hyde mentioned that he should be good to go for Sunday's finale, but it is still a situation that fantasy managers may want to follow going into next week. Through 20 games, Mancini is hitting .224 with a homer, five runs, and eight RBI as a mainstay in the team's top half of the batting order. As long as this minor rib issue doesn't persist, the 30-year-old's numbers should level out with time as there is still plenty of season left.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal with the team that includes an option in 2023. His one-year deal reportedly is worth $7.5 million in 2022 with a $250,000 buyout on the $10 million 2023 option. The 29-year-old slashed .255/.326/.432 with 21 home runs and 71 RBI in 616 plate appearances after missing all of the 2020 season while battling cancer. Mancini will provide some pop for fantasy managers and is currently 20th among all first basemen in the latest Rotoballer rankings.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/designated hitter Trey Mancini will get some work in the corner outfield spots this spring, and Ryan Mountcastle will focus on first base, according to manager Brandon Hyde. With Mountcastle likely to be the team's primary first baseman, it's probable that most of Mancini's starts in 2022 will come as the DH. The 29-year-old missed all of the 2020 season while battling cancer, but he bounced back in a big way last year to slash .255/.326/.432 with 21 home runs and 71 RBI in 616 plate appearances over 147 games. Mancini had a career-high 35 home runs and 97 RBI in 2019, but fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily expect a return to that power threshold.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Trey Mancini was named the American League Comeback Player of the Year for 2021 on Monday. Mancini won the award by beating colon cancer and returning for the fourth 20-homer season of his career. He missed all of 2020 while undergoing treatment for Stage 3 colon cancer. Mancini had surgery to remove a tumor and went through six months of chemotherapy before returning in spring training cancer-free. The 29-year-old finished the year hitting .255 with 21 home runs, 71 RBI and 77 runs scored in 147 games played. Mancini even competed in the All-Star Home Run Derby and lost to Pete Alonso in the finals.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This will be his third time on the bench over the last five games. Wednesday's game is at a national league park so the Orioles don't have a designated hitter spot, though Mancini did play first base in Tuesday's game. The 29-year-old has been dealing with an ongoing oblique injury lately and the team is being cautious with him, which is understandable given their 48-103 record. Mancini's inconsistent playing time could continue going forward, which makes him a drop candidate in shallow leagues and weekly lock leagues.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (oblique) and catcher Pedro Severino (leg) are out of the starting lineup once again on Thursday. Mancini is dealing with oblique and abdominal injuries. He was originally slated to start Wednesday's game, but was eventually scratched. This will be his third time out of the lineup over the past four games. Severino, meanwhile, injured his leg in Tuesday's game and this will be his second straight game on the bench. Austin Wynns is catching on Thursday while Cedric Mullins is slotting in at designated hitter and Ryan McKenna is manning center field.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (abdomen) has been removed from Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees due to right abdominal soreness. Mancini has been dealing with a sore side for over a week now. The soreness has caused him to miss multiple games over the last week. DJ Stewart entered Tuesday's game in place of Mancini in the fourth inning and Stewart could see increased playing time if Mancini is forced to miss any games. As of now, Mancini should be considered day-to-day.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini was removed in the fourth inning of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. DJ Stewart entered the game as a pinch-hitter to take over for Mancini. No reason has been given yet for Mancini's removal. Orioles beat reporters have been speculating that it could have to do with Mancini's sore side that's been bothering him for over a week, causing him to miss a few games. Mancini took a big swing in his first at-bat of Monday's game, then went on to walk in his second trip to the plate. We should have a more clear reason for Mancini's removal later today so make sure to stay tuned.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini had a nice day at the plate in Friday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Yankees, going 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout. Mancini clobbered a sixth-inning Nester Cortes fastball into the left-field seats to get the O's on the board. The 29-year-old now has a decent .258/.319/.451 slash line with 21 HR and 66 RBI on the season. However, he's hit just five HR with 11 RBI in the second half of the season. Hopefully, he can pick things up for the last month of the season. In the meantime, fantasy managersshould keep Mancini on their benches if they can afford it.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini (calf) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays. He is playing designated hitter and batting second in the game. Mancini exited Monday's game after fouling multiple balls off of his calf. He went on to sit out each of the team's next two games. The 29-year-old has been struggling at the plate so far in August. Over 13 games this month, he's slashed .173/.204/.288 with just one home run. However, he was great in July, slashing .299/.344/.575 with five home runs. Expect for him to get back on track soon.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (calf/foot) exited Monday's 9-2 loss to the Rays in the eighth inning after fouling pitches off of his calf and foot. He ended the at-bat with an RBI double, but was taken out of the game afterwards and is considered day-to-day. Mancini has had an up-and-down season but has done a great job overall considering his condition last season. He is now slashing .253/.319/.456 with 20 home runs and 62 RBI. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for news in the coming days.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team faces Nestor Cortes and the New York Yankees. Ryan Mountcastle is manning first base in the game while DJ Stewart is filling in as designated hitter. Mancini had a strong month of July, slashing .299/.344/.575 with five home runs, eight RBI and 15 runs. However, he's gone 0-for-8 to start off August. Mancini currently ranks in the 84th percentile in both xBA (.273) and xSLG (.487) and he ranks in the 92nd percentile in max exit velocity (113.9 mph). He should continue to provide strong all-around numbers for fantasy managers throughout the second half of the year.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman and starting pitcher John Means are unlikely to be dealt by the end of the trade deadline on July 30. Means is looking like a prime trade candidate, but has struggled since returning from a shoulder injury. He is under team control until 2024, so the team has no rush to trade Means. Mancini has become a leader in the clubhouse and has one more year of arbitration eligibility this winter. Both players are expected to remain in Baltimore for at least one more season.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Judge went from being a late scratch to hitting a tiebreaking single in a two-run 10th inning to help the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day, 3-1 on Wednesday night. Judge was taken out of the lineup about 30 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Although no announcement was made about why, the All-Star right fielder struck out in the fifth pinch-hitting for Estevan Florial.
