Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini is off to a slow start to the 2021 season, going 8-for-53 (.151) entering Saturday’s action against the Rangers. So manager Brandon Hyde decided to drop Mancini down a notch in the lineup from cleanup to the fifth hole and swapped him to become the

In his heyday with the Mets, Matt Harvey was one of the game’s elite power pitchers, thriving with a fastball that lived in the high 90s and a wipeout slider. That arsenal fizzled in the years since, with injuries and inconsistency landing Harvey, now 32, in Baltimore this winter, with
