Orioles sit Trey Mancini in effort to reverse young slugger's season-long struggles

Struggling Orioles left fielder Trey Mancini was out of the lineup for the second time in four games Wednesday, and might be headed for the same kind of in-season break that appears to have worked wonders for second baseman Jonathan Schoop and also brought about some improvement from first baseman Chris Davis.

Manager Buck Showalter said he met with Mancini before batting practice to lay out the possible courses the 25-year-old outfielder can take, but gave him "some time to think about them."

"We talked about the options that he has," Showalter said.
