Mancini missing from Orioles lineup

Trey Mancini is out of the Orioles lineup today after injuring his right knee last night in the eighth inning.

Craig Gentry is leading off and playing left field.

Mancini banged the knee against the brick wall in foul territory while attempting to make a sliding catch. He received a couple of stitches after undergoing an x-ray.

Another update is coming later today.

Pedro Álvarez continues to bat second as the designated hitter and rookie Chance Sisco stays behind the plate.
