Orioles outfielder-first baseman Trey Mancini finished third in the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s voting for American League Rookie of the Year on Monday.

The award’s winner, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, received all 30 first-place votes and 150 total points on the 5-3-1 scoring scale. Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi finished second with 75 points, and Mancini was third with 31. ancini received five second-place votes (Benintendi received 23) and 16 third-place votes.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Olson and Yankees left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery each received one second-place vote. Olson finished fourth overall in voting, and Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel was fifth.

Nine of the 30 voters did not have Mancini on their ballot. Voters — two from each AL city — select their top three choices for the award.

There was little doubt that Judge, who set a rookie record with an AL-leading 52 home runs and is an AL Most Valuable Player Award finalist, would be voted Rookie of the Year.

Mancini’s 24 homers were third most by an Orioles rookie. The two players ahead of him on that list — Cal Ripken Jr. (28 in 1982) and Eddie Murray (27 in 1977) — won the award.

Mancini is the first Oriole to finish in the top three since right-hander Daniel Cabrera was third in 2004. No Oriole has won since Gregg Olson in 1989.

Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers was the unanimous winner of the NL Rookie of the Year award, beating Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell and St. Louis Cardinals infielder Paul DeJong.

Ex-Oriole Dauer to retire as Astros’ first base coach: Former Oriole Rich Dauer, the Houston Astros’ first base coach and infield instructor the past three seasons, plans to retire, the team said Monday.

The announcement came a little more than a week after Dauer underwent emergency surgery for a blood clot to his brain, though his decision to retire had been made before the medical problem surfaced, according to The Houston Chronicle.

Dauer, 65, is still hospitalized but said to be progressing.

“He’s working every day to get a little bit better,” manager A.J. Hinch said Monday. “He’s surrounded by his family and we’ve had a lot of Astros people go see him. Slow and steady progress is how I would describe it, and everybody is optimistic it’s going to continue and he’s going to get to leave the hospital soon.”

Alex Cintron, who joined the Astros before the 2017 season as their interpreter, will be the new first base coach.

Dauer played 10 seasons in the majors as an infielder, all with the Orioles. He was the second baseman on the 1983 World Series championship team and won his second ring with the Astros earlier this month.

“He was very selfless in his work,” Hinch said. “He loved to be around the club. He loves to work. ... One of the first things he did was connect with [José] Altuve about his goals and he helped him become a Gold Glover. He helped Carlos [Correa] break into the big leagues. He’s had a great impact on our players and on our winning.”

Beltrán retires:Carlos Beltrán is retiring at age 40 after winning his first World Series title in his 20th major league season.

The outfielder made the announcement Monday, 12 days after the Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series.

He announced his retirement in an essay written for The Players’ Tribune website. His story touched on what finally winning a championship meant to him.

“I realized early on that my purpose in this game was to share knowledge with younger players and to give back to the game of baseball,” he wrote. “I always wanted to do that — that, and be the best teammate I could possibly be. Over 20 years, I feel like I accomplished that.

“So whether we won or lost Game 7, I would have still been happy with my career. But it still feels nice to have a ring,” he continued.

Beltrán is a nine-time All-Star who won the 1999 AL Rookie of the Year award and three Gold Gloves.

He finishes with a .279 average, 435 homers, 1,587 RBIs and 312 stolen bases.

Braves hire Anthopoulos as GM: The remake of the Atlanta Braves’ management was completed Monday when Alex Anthopoulos was named general manager and John Hart was removed as team president.

Anthopoulos, a former Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays executive, will have autonomy of baseball operations, giving him more power than any Braves general manager since Baltimore native John Schuerholz served from 1990 to 2007. Anthopoulos also was given the title of executive vice president, while Hart, a former Orioles coach and minor league manager, will assume a senior adviser role, team chairman Terry McGuirk announced at a news conference that Hart did not attend.

Anthopoulos was to fly to Orlando on Monday night to represent the Braves at baseball’s general managers’ meetings.

He spent the past two seasons as the Dodgers’ vice president of baseball operations after six years as Toronto’s general manager.

Anthopoulos succeeds John Coppolella, who was forced to resign as general manager Oct. 2 after an investigation by Major League Baseball disclosed rule violations committed by the Braves in the international player market.

Royals’ Yost ‘glad to be alive’ after injury on farm:Ned Yost spent Monday in a lounge chair at his farm just outside Atlanta, the pain from a shattered pelvis so unbearable that the only movement the Kansas City Royals manager could make was to reposition.

He was happy for the pain, though. It reminded him he was alive.

Just over a week ago, Yost was working in a hunting stand on his property when he reached to attach a safety line. The stand somehow collapsed and Yost fell about 20 feet to the ground, and the landing was so hard that he suffered a “massive fracture” to his pelvis and four broken ribs.

He also lost so much blood that surgeons later told him he nearly died.

“I didn’t understand the gravity of the situation until I was through it,” said the 62-year-old Yost, an avid outdoorsman. “I’m just glad I had my phone, I’ll tell you that.”

Yost said he can’t put weight on either leg for at least two months, which means he’s confined to his lounge chair or a wheelchair. There are two rods, some plates and screws holding his pelvis together, and a good number of staples that are helping to keep the incision closed.

But he vowed that by spring training, “I should be pretty much full-go.”

Yost, the winningest manager in Royals history, is scheduled to have the staples removed next week and follow-up X-rays on his pelvis. The doctors said he’ll be off his feet for two or three months and then have to undergo physical therapy.
