Mancini is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Mancini will take a seat after he went 3-for-10 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI while starting in each of the last three games. During that three-game stretch, Mancini made his first start in the outfield since joining Houston, but the Astros don't seem to trust his defense enough to make him a regular at a corner spot just yet. Instead, Mancini is likely to see most of his action at first base or designated hitter, while Aledmys Diaz and Chas McCormick play ahead of him in left field.

Astros' Trey Mancini: Sitting Tuesday
Rotowire

Mancini will take a seat for the series opener after going 4-for-18 with three home runs and seven RBI through his first six games with the Astros. He's thus far picked up his first four starts at first base or designated hitter, but Mancini could get some exposure to the corner-outfield spots if the Astros are eager to get his bat in the lineup on a more frequent basis.

Astros' Trey Mancini: Goes yard twice for new club
Rotowire
Mancini went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Guardians.

The 30-year-old's first three hits for Houston have all left the yard, pushing his slash line on the year to .268/.345/.425 with 13 homers and 48 RBI through 96 games.

Mancini will be traded to the Astros, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
It's not yet known who Houston will send to Baltimore to complete the trade, but Mancini's tenure with the Orioles will come to a close.

Orioles' Trey Mancini: Scores twice in series finale
Rotowire
Mancini went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Angels.
Mancini has built his hitting streak to nine games, and if not for going 0-for-1 while coming off the bench in a 3-2 loss to the Twins on July 1, his streak would be at 17 games. Though he hasn't been a premium source of counting stats between the two streaks -- he has two home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs over his last 18 contests -- Mancini's .288 average over that stretch has made him a useful piece for fantasy managers.

Orioles' Trey Mancini: Hits eighth home run
Rotowire
Mancini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 win over the Twins on Sunday.
Mancini's home run off Devin Smeltzer gives him eight on the year, and the designated hitter now has at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games. He has been a consistent player during his five full seasons in the big leagues and continues to chug along with a .279/.355/.428 slash line in 2022. His ability to get on base should ensure that he continues to hit out of the two-spot in the Orioles lineup.

Orioles' Trey Mancini: Absent with hand issue
Rotowire
Mancini's absence from the lineup Friday against the Twins is due to a carpal boss (a type of bone growth) in his right hand, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Mancini was hit in the hand against the Blue Jays back in mid-June and missed a pair of games. His latest issue may date back to that incident. While it sounds rather worrisome, the injury apparently isn't a big deal, as Mancini expects to return to the lineup Saturday and may even appear off the bench Friday.

Orioles' Trey Mancini: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Mancini will sit Tuesday against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Mancini started each of the last seven games and got at least one hit in all seven.
