Mancini played in 92 games for Baltimore so he’s basically an everyday player. This could get interesting. He’s safe to me.
Soto and Bell didn’t need a few days to get acclimated each have combined like four hits the last two games with the Padres.
Yeah… you go tell Verlander that Maldy isn’t his catcher… when it comes down to the “catcher” part on the line up card, Verlander fills it out if he takes the mound. From what I have heard Verlander isn’t very nice about it either.
