Trey Mancini’s return to the Orioles was always going to be less about the stats he put up in his first season back after beating colon cancer, and more about the fact he was back in the lineup on a daily basis at all.
But since he’s checked the box of making it back to the majors, Mancini’s body language has often made no secret of the frustration he’s felt in getting off to a slow start. After he struck out four times in Friday’s victory, Mancini batted fifth Saturday, the first time manager Brandon Hyde has put him lower than fourth in a lineup.
