Trey Mancini - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dropped from 40-man roster Mancini was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Jeimer Candelario, who was acquired from the Nationals on Monday and will officially join the Cubs ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Reds. Mancini, 31, had slashed just .234/.299/.336 with four home runs through 263 plate appearances this season for Chicago.

On bench Wednesday Mancini is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox.

Impact Cody Bellinger is starting at first base and Christopher Morel will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter as they face off against right-hander Lance Lynn. Mancini has doubled in each of his last two games but holds an overall .243/.296/.329 batting line in 154 plate appearances this year against right-handed pitching.

Sits for second straight Mancini will sit Saturday against St. Louis, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mancini has been in and out of the Cubs' lineup throughout the regular season, with his .237/.301/.339 slash line failing to earn him a regular role. He recently started six straight games but has since found himself on the bench for two in a row, with Cody Bellinger starting at first base on both occasions.

Recaptures regular role Mancini will start at first base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact With the Cubs having seemingly pulled the plug on Jared Young as their primary first baseman, Mancini has been the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. Cody Bellinger has moved from the outfield to take over as the Cubs' main option at first base, while Mike Tauchman has settled back into center field after a brief run as Chicago's primary designated hitter. The DH spot has now reopened for Mancini, though he'll play defense Thursday while the lefty-hitting Tauchman gets a day off versus southpaw Steven Matz. Mancini will be picking up his sixth consecutive start.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Mancini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Mancini started each of the last two games at first base but will head to the bench Sunday, with Jared Young getting the start. Young started off quickly but has fallen into a slump more recently, so Mancini could earn a larger share of playing time after the All-Star break. The veteran is batting .239 with a .652 OPS across 68 games.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive effort Sunday Mancini went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Impact Mancini no longer has to contend with Matt Mervis on the MLB roster for playing time, though Jared Young is now getting a look at first. The latter started there Sunday, with Mancini slotting in as the DH. That should allow the veteran to still see frequent playing time, though the Cubs figure to rotate several players in as the DH moving forward. Mancini isn't particularly splashy, though he is batting an even .300 over his last 10 games, giving him some fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup.

Cubs call on Jared Young, but back Trey Mancini as they search for answers at first base Young will get the chance to help with the Cubs' issues at first and against righties, though Mancini remains solidly in the mix.

On bench Monday Mancini is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Pirates.

Impact Mancini will remain on the bench for a third straight game Monday. Cody Bellinger will make a third consecutive start at first base and has seemingly jumped Mancini as the Cubs' primary first baseman moving forward.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Mancini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The 31-year-old will sit for the second straight contest and for the third time in four games since Cody Bellinger was reinstated from the injured list Thursday. The demotion of Matt Mervis likely means Mancini will continue seeing regular starts at first base, but Bellinger could mix in more often with Mike Tauchman playing well enough to warrant receiving reps in center field.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Mancini isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Orioles.

Impact After reaching base in all four of his plate appearances Friday, Mancini will catch a day off Saturday. Cody Bellinger will serve as the Cubs' first baseman in Mancini's place, allowing Mike Tauchman to start in center field and bat in the leadoff spot.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches four times vs. former team Mancini went 2-for-2 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Mancini started his career in Baltimore and spent his first six seasons there before being traded to Houston last year. The slugger appeared locked in from the start versus his former team and reached safely four times for the first time this season. It was also the first time Mancini had recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game and third time he worked multiple walks. Mancini has fallen into a platoon at first base and isn't receiving regular at-bats, but it'll be difficult to keep him out of the lineup if he continues to deliver like he did Friday.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in win Mancini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

Impact Mancini got the start with Matt Mervis hitting the bench against San Diego southpaw Ryan Weathers. The veteran responded with his fourth home run of the season, and while he should still see some time against lefties moving forward, his fantasy production may be sporadic on the short side of a platoon.

Back to bench Monday Mancini is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact After sitting out four consecutive games from last Sunday through Wednesday, Mancini returned to the lineup as either the Cubs' designated hitter or starting first baseman for all three of the team's games with Cincinnati this past weekend. Mancini went 0-for-6 over the first two contests, but he salvaged his series with a 2-for-3 effort to go with a walk in Sunday's 8-5 loss. Even so, Mancini is still maintaining a pedestrian .683 OPS for the season, and he looks like he could be stuck in more of a part-time role until his bat heats up and he warrants more playing time.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches three times in loss Mancini went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Impact After seeing his playing time decrease earlier in the month, Mancini has now made three straight starts with Matt Mervis struggling and Eric Hosmer no longer on the team. Mervis should still see plenty of time at first base, but Mancini can spell the rookie and also serve as the DH. The veteran still only has a .683 OPS, which would be a new career low, though he could push that upward if he continues to play regularly.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Losing grip on regular role Mancini remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Mancini is on the bench versus a right-handed pitcher (Kodai Senga) for the third consecutive game and may have lost hold of a regular spot in the Chicago lineup. He'll cede his spot as the Cubs' designated hitter to the hot-hitting Christopher Morel, who draws another start after slugging a home run in his fifth consecutive game in Tuesday's 7-2 win.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday Mancini is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact The hot-hitting Christopher Morel will fill the DH role and bat fifth versus the Mets and right-hander Tylor Megill. Matt Mervis is playing first base and batting ninth.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday Mancini is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

Impact Mancini will head to the bench after he went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a walk over the first two games of the series. Christopher Morel will draw the start at designated hitter and bat sixth in the series finale with Philadelphia.

MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as DH Sunday Mancini is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Mancini sat out Saturday's contest, with Eric Hosmer getting the nod at DH. Both veterans have largely been displaced from first base with the arrival of top prospect Matt Mervis. That leaves Mancini in a timeshare for at-bats, so he'll have to produce when given the opportunity if he wants to have any fantasy impact.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in starting nine Mancini will not start Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact Mancini owns an .892 OPS in his last 20 games after struggling to a .470 OPS in his first 14 games as a Cub. The recent arrival of Matt Mervis is cutting into his playing time despite his uptick in results, however. In the eight games Mervis has been with the team, Mancini has started four times at designated hitter an once at first base. Eric Hosmer has seen an even bigger hit to his playing time, as his appearance as the designated hitter Saturday is just his third start since Mervis joined the team.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steps out of lineup Mancini is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mancini went 2-for-7 with a double and a walk in the first two games of the series, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's finale. Eric Hosmer will serve as the designated hitter while prospect Matt Mervis, who was promoted from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, receives his third straight start at first base.
