Trey Mancini (ribs) will miss his third consecutive game tonight against the Twins. Fortunately, the Orioles still have a pair of 1B/DH types to cover for their de facto captain. Ryan Mountcastle will play first base while Tyler Nevin serves as the DH.
Mancini told reporters that he would be available off the bench tonight. Mancini’s availability is significant with Baltimore down to just a three-man bench. Chris Owings and backup catcher Anthony Bemboom will also serve as depth after surviving recent roster cuts.
Cedric Mullins will leadoff and play centerfield. He will be joined in the outfield by Austin Hays and Anthony Santander.
