San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham and first baseman Eric Hosmer are not in the lineup Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. Both left-handed batters will take a seat against southpaw starter Sean Manaea. Despite a solid .858 OPS against lefties, Grisham is hitting just .162 in his last 10 contests and will make way for utilityman Jurickson Profar. With 10 steals and only two homers in 303 plate appearances, Profar is just a DFS lottery ticket for speed. Infielder Jake Cronenworth will slide to first base in place of Hosmer, who will likely see more time on the bench with second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier now in the mix. While Hosmer has been the subject of trade rumors, his absence from the lineup appears matchup-related. Without much power (eight homers) and a .712 OPS, Hosmer's stock will take a further hit as he sees fewer opportunities.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller

The Chicago Cubs officially released first baseman Eric Hosmer on Thursday after they designated him for assignment last week. Hosmer is likely to land with another organization given the fact that the San Diego Padres are still paying most of his salary, but it's probably a long shot at this point that the 33-year-old left-handed hitter will contribute to fantasy rosters. In 31 games for the Cubs in 2023, Hosmer went 22-for-94 (.234) with three doubles, two home runs, 14 RBI and 25 strikeouts in 100 plate appearances. The arrival of first base prospect Matt Mervis in Chicago spelled the end for Hosmer in his short time with the Cubbies.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer has been designated for assignment on Friday. Honestly, it was just a matter of time after Hosmer was recently moved to a bench role. The Cubs don't have the room for Hosmer on the roster with youngster Matt Mervis up and playing everyday at first base. Hosmer slashed .234/.280/.330 with two homers and 14 RBI in 27 games for the Cubs. He might catch on elsewhere for an organization in desperate need of help at first base. However, it doesn't appear that Hosmer has much left in the tank.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias. The Cubs are going with a righty heavy lineup against the tough left-hander in the second game of a four-game series against LA. Hosmer has the strong side of a platoon at the cold corner for Chicago to begin the year, and he's currently hitting .240 (12-for-50) with two doubles, a home run, 10 RBI and six runs scored in 55 plate appearances over 16 games in his first year with the Cubbies. With Hosmer on the bench, Trey Mancini will start at first base and hit seventh against Urias. Mancini has struggled this year so far, going 13-for-60 (.217) with a homer and nine RBI in 15 games played.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer will start on the bench for the second straight day Monday as the Cubs take on A's left-hander Kyle Muller. Hosmer has struggled so far this season but his sitting can be attributed to seeing a second straight left-handed starter as he began Sunday's contest on the bench against Dodgers southpaw Julio Urias and will do so again tonight against Muller. The veteran is hitting just .250 without a home run alongside a .618 OPS across 44 trips to the plate. The Cubs not only added Hosmer at first base this winter but also the righty-swinging Trey Mancini who will get the starts against left-handed pitching. As a result, it's entirely possible Hosmer could start on the bench for a third straight game Tuesday against A's left-hander Ken Waldichuk.--Brenton Kemp
