Trey Mancini, Patrick Wisdom The Main Right Field Backups
Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said Monday that Trey Mancini and Patrick Wisdom (groin) are "the first guys that come to mind" as fill-ins for right field if Seiya Suzuki (oblique) ends up having to miss time with a left oblique injury. Mancini, who was signed this off-season, has played outfield throughout his career in addition to first base. Wisdom is a primary third baseman but did see a bit of time in the outfield for the Cubs last season. It is of note that Wisdom was a late scratch from Monday's Cactus League with left groin soreness. Mancini had an uninspiring 2022 season, slashing .239/.319/.391 with 18 home runs and 63 RBI with the Orioles and the Astros. However, he does own a career .265/.330/.457 slash line, so it is possible that he could provide some fantasy value if he sees enough playing time.
