Jun 13 2025Mastrobuoni is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni has been out of the lineup in three of the Mariners' last four games, and his playing time could diminish further with Luke Raley (oblique) close to returning from the 10-day injured list. Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone will start in the outfield for Seattle.
Jun 7 2025Mastrobuoni went 1-for-2 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni continues to fill a part-time role as a utility player. The 29-year-old's steal was his third of the season and his first since May 7 versus the Athletics. He's gone 4-for-8 across five games in June, but his inconsistent playing time remains an issue. For the year, he's slashing .243/.325/.301 with one home run, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and three doubles over 120 plate appearances.
May 22 2025Mastrobuoni will hit eighth and play right field Thursday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni was not originally in Thursday's lineup but will enter to play right field after Julio Rodriguez (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Leody Taveras will shift from right field to center field.
May 19 2025Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni had started in each of the last four games at three different positions (second base, third base and right field), but he went just 1-for-11 with four strikeouts during that stretch. He'll be back on the bench Monday and should continue to serve as a utility player for Seattle, with his ability to play multiple outfield and infield spots enabling him to make a handful of starts per week.
May 7 2025Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni had started in the corner outfield in each of the last three games, but his opportunities to play in left or right field will likely become scarcer moving forward with Randy Arozarena moving past a hamstring injury and with the Mariners claiming Leody Taveras off waivers. The versatile Mastrobuoni could still fill in occasionally at second or third base, though Dylan Moore and Ben Williamson seem to be ahead of him in the pecking order for playing time at either of those spots.
Apr 30 2025Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Tyler Anderson taking the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Mastrobuoni will take a seat after he started at four different positions (second base, third base, left field and right field) in Seattle's previous four games. Though he doesn't have a regular home in the infield or outfield, Mastrobuoni could continue to see fairly steady playing time against right-handed pitching while Dylan Moore (hip) and Luke Raley (oblique) are on the injured list and while Jorge Polanco (side) is limited to the designated-hitter role.
Apr 16 2025Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni had cracked the lineup in each of the Mariners' previous four games against right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday as the Reds send righty Nick Martinez to the hill. With Jorge Polanco limited to designated-hitter duties while he tends to a side injury, the Mariners could mix and match with Mastrobuoni, Ben Williamson (who is starting Wednesday) and Dylan Moore at third base rather than settling on a primary replacement.
Apr 13 2025Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game and will make his third consecutive start at the hot corner while Jorge Polanco (side) is limited to DH duties. Polanco is believed to be at least one or two weeks away from being ready to play the field, so Mastrobuoni could continue to benefit from extra opportunities. The 29-year-old is hitting .316 through his first 10 games with the Mariners, but he hasn't provided much help in the counting categories (zero home runs, one stolen base, three runs and zero RBI).
Apr 9 2025Mastrobuoni will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni will pick up his second start of the season, filling in at the keystone after the Mariners placed everyday second baseman Ryan Bliss (bicep) on the 10-day injured list. Though Bliss appears headed for an extended absence, Mastrobuoni won't necessarily be the Mariners' top choice to replace him. Dylan Moore will start at third base Wednesday, but he could shift over to second base and serve as the primary option at that position once Jorge Polanco (side) -- who is serving as a designated hitter against the Astros -- is cleared to return to the infield.
Jan 14 2025The Mariners acquired Mastrobuoni from the Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni had been designated for assignment but will now get to join a new 40-man roster. A .219/.279/.263 hitter across 272 career plate appearances in the majors, the utility player will compete for a reserve role this spring but does have minor-league options remaining.
Jan 9 2025The Cubs designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni will end up as the Cubs' roster casualty following the acquisition of Matt Festa from Texas on Thursday. The 29-year-old utility man has slashed just .219/.279/.263 across 272 career plate appearances in the majors, and his .634 OPS at Triple-A Iowa last season could cause him to pass through waivers unclaimed.
Sep 25 2024The Cubs optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kevin Alcantara was called up from Iowa to take Mastrobuoni's spot on the 28-man active roster. Mastrobuoni will likely finish the 2024 season with a .194/.245/.224 slash line in 50 games for the Cubs.
Sep 1 2024The Cubs recalled Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Back up for his fourth stint of the season with the Cubs, Mastrobuoni projects to fill a utility role for the big club, much like he did on the previous three occasions. As a left-handed batter, Mastrobuoni won't have a path to a short-side platoon role, so his playing time will likely be sparse in September unless the Cubs lose one of their lineup regulars to an injury.
Jul 30 2024The Cubs optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Isaac Paredes now active and set to take over as Chicago's primary third baseman, Mastrobuoni no longer has a place in the Cubs' infield unit and will now head back to Triple-A. The 28-year-old slashed .260/.283/.300 in 53 plate appearances after being recalled in mid-June.
Jul 21 2024Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni started at third base in each of the Cubs' final five games before the All-Star break as well as Friday's 5-2 loss to Arizona, but he'll hit the bench for the second day in a row to close out the series with the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old no longer looks slated to get regular playing time moving forward after the Cubs brought Mike Tauchman back from the injured list Friday.
Jul 14 2024Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since heading to the bench for Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Orioles, the lefty-hitting Mastrobuoni has re-emerged as a regular part of the Cubs' lineup against right-handed pitching. Mastrobuoni will close the first half of the season with his fifth consecutive start, with his uptick in playing time coinciding with Cody Bellinger's (finger) placement on the injured list Thursday. Mastrobuoni has gone 4-for-13 with an RBI and two runs over his prior four starts.
Jul 10 2024Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Mastrobuoni had been included in the lineup in each of the Cubs' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but the uptick in playing time looks to have been the result of outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong being unavailable due to a thumb injury. After serving as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 9-2 win, Crow-Armstrong has received the green light to re-enter the starting nine Wednesday for the first time in a week, so Mastrobuoni will head back to the bench.
Jul 9 2024Mastrobuoni went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles. He also stole a base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was just the second multi-hit effort this season for Mastrobuoni and his first since May 11. The stolen base was also his first of the year. Mastrobuoni is batting just .172 overall, and while he's capable of the occasional solid performance, the utility player doesn't see consistent enough playing time to be much of a fantasy contributor.
Jul 5 2024Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Christopher Morel is getting a second straight day in the designated hitter spot, so Mastrobuoni will be tasked with handling the hot corner. It's his first start since he was recalled from Triple-A Iowa back on June 18.
Jun 18 2024Mastrobuoni was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni will return to the major-league roster after being sent down May 20, replacing Mike Tauchman (groin) with the Cubs after Tauchman was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Mastrobuoni produced a .264 average with three home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases over 87 at-bats in 22 games with Iowa since his demotion.
May 20 2024Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transaction log. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni went 0-for-10 at the dish over his last three games, and he'll be demoted to the minors now that Dansby Swanson (knee) is ready to be activated from the 10-day IL and Luis Vazquez is ready to get a shot with the big-league club. Mastrobuoni will likely be seen again in the majors this season considering his versatility.
May 15 2024Mastrobuoni will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Dansby Swanson (knee) recently going on the injured list and with Nico Hoerner (hamstring) out of the lineup for the second day in a row, Mastrobuoni has been the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. He'll draw his fifth start in seven games Wednesday and could continue to see fairly steady playing time in the middle infield even if Hoerner avoids a trip to the IL.
May 12 2024Mastrobuoni went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni was productive from the No. 8 spot in the lineup and he recorded his first three hits of the season, as he came into the contest 0-for-14 across 10 games. The 28-year-old has bounced between Triple-A and the majors and serves in a utility role when he's with the Cubs, so he doesn't see a ton of regular playing time, which makes Saturday's performance an outlier.
May 4 2024The Cubs recalled Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mastrobuoni made the Cubs' Opening Day roster and was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on April 18 after Patrick Wisdom returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a back injury. Mastrobuoni has appeared in 10 games for Iowa, slashing .231/.318/.436 with 10 runs, five doubles, one home run and four RBI over 44 plate appearances. Matt Mervis was sent down to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.
