Orioles manager Brandon Hyde penciled Trey Mancini atop the batting order for the first time today. Mancini has not bat leadoff since Buck Showalter was calling the shots back in 2018. Are the Orioles showcasing his on-base percentage to potential trade partners? Mancini will also play right field today, so you can interpret that however you choose.
Adley Rutschman will follow Mancini and serve as the DH. Robinson Chirinos will catch starter Austin Voth.
The return of Kyle Bradish has been negated by Tyler Wells’ strained oblique. Voth will still face pressure to perform, but his place in the rotation appears secure for now.
