Trey Mancini - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Role to shrink? With top prospect Matt Mervis expected to get called up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, Mancini could be in danger of losing playing time.

Impact Mervis is expected to see regular action at first base, where he could push out Eric Hosmer, but the former is also expected to serve as the designated hitter often. That would cut into Mancini's playing time. The veteran has a .695 OPS across 27 games while Mervis has a stellar .924 OPS at Triple-A, so the youngster would seem to be an upgrade over Hosmer, who has a .657 OPS, and Mancini.

Working on opposite-field hitting Mancini is aiming to hit "with authority" up the middle and to the opposite field this season, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact More than half of Mancini's career-high 35 home runs back in 2019 went to center or right field, and he's looking to get back to that approach in 2023. The 31-year-old hit 18 long balls last season with Baltimore and Houston in what was a bit of a down year, as he finished with a career-worst .710 OPS. Mancini should see plenty of playing time with the Cubs and could see his numbers climb back upward.

Rangers' Corey Seager thriving in post-shift MLB world

Hits first spring home run Mancini went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rockies.

Impact Notably, Mancini started this game in right field, where he could play some in the early going with Seiya Suzuki (oblique) unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season. Mancini has a strong .538 batting average so far this spring, and he could have decent fantasy appeal as an everyday player for the Cubs this year, with his playing time coming in right, as well as at first base and DH.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

May play some in right Mancini is an option to play some in right field with Seiya Suzuki (oblique) questionable for the start of the regular season, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran slugger is primarily a first baseman and will likely get some starts at DH, but the Cubs could try him in right field, especially with Seiya Suzuki (oblique) set to miss the start of the season. Mancini logged 86 innings in right last season and was a plus defender there. No matter where he plays, he should get plenty of at-bats in 2023 for a Chicago team looking to boost its offense.

Two hits in team debut Mancini went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

Impact Mancini looked good in his first game with the Cubs. The veteran was brought over in the offseason to likely fill the DH role most days, though he could also see some time at first base. Mancini had a down year with a career-worst .710 OPS in 2022, but he still hit 18 home runs to go along with 63 RBI.
