A misplay by Trey Mancini in right field Sunday cost the Cubs two runs. A similar misplay by Miles Mastrobuoni during the opening series against the Brewers also led to two runs, which was the difference in that game.
Neither Mancini nor Mastrobuoni is really a right fielder. Mancini did play there fairly often in his early years with the Orioles, but before this year hadn’t played there in more than a handful of games since 2019. Mastrobuoni played some right field in the Rays minor leagues, but before this year had played exactly three games in right field in the major leagues, starting one of them.
