CEDRIC MULLINS NEWS

Nursing quad tightness Mullins was lifted from Saturday's game against the Marlins in the second inning due to right quad tightness, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Mullins came up lame while running from first base to third base on a foul ball and had to be removed for a pinch runner. The Orioles could offer more on a potential timetable for the outfielder after the game, but it would certainly seem to be an injury capable of sending Mullins to the injured list.

Exits game with injury Mullins was removed from Saturday's game versus the Marlins with an apparent injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mullins appeared to tweak something while running from first to third on a foul ball hit by Jordan Westburg in the second inning and was replaced by a pinch-runner. He missed nearly a month of action earlier this season with a groin injury, although it's not clear if that's what he's dealing with this time around.

Finds power stroke Mullins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact The center fielder took Sandy Alcantara deep in the fourth inning, giving Mullins his first homer since he returned in late June from a nearly month-long absence due to a groin injury. The steal was also his first since late May, and Mullins had been slashing just .192/.279/.269 in 14 games since rejoining the lineup. If the 28-year-old is now fully healthy coming out of the All-Star break, a big second half could be on the horizon.

Resting Saturday Mullins will sit Saturday against the Twins.

Impact Mullins hits the bench even with a righty (Sonny Gray) set to take the mound for Minnesota. He's been scuffling at the plate since returning from a groin strain in late June, posting a .502 OPS in 13 games while getting caught in his only attempt to steal. Aaron Hicks will be Saturday's center fielder.

Gets breather Tuesday Mullins is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Mullins gets a breather after playing three straight games following his Saturday return from a right groin strain. He went 2-for-3 with a walk in the Orioles' win over Cincinnati on Monday.

Impact Mullins has been sidelined just short of a month with a groin injury and will immediately return to his typical role as the Orioles' leadoff hitter. He participated in three rehab games prior to being activated and collected one hit across 10 at-bats. Aaron Hicks and Austin Hays will play to either side of Mullins in the outfield.

Cleared for rehab games Mullins (groin) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mullins has been sidelined since late May due to a right groin strain, so he'll probably be asked to play in at least a couple of games on the farm before returning to the Orioles' active roster around the end of this week. Ryan Mountcastle (illness) will join him at Norfolk on Tuesday and looks to be on a similar timeline for activation.

Begins baseball activities Mullins (groin) has begun baseball activities and is progressing well, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Mullins hit the injured list at the end of May with a Grade 2 right groin strain. He was shut down for over a week, so it will take some time (and potentially a rehab assignment) to build him back up, but it's certainly a positive to see him trending in the right direction.

The severity of the strain hasn't been revealed, so it's difficult to know what kind of timetable we're dealing with at this point, but it's a big blow to the Orioles and to Mullins' fantasy managers. Aaron Hicks has been signed as a replacement and could see regular starts in center field while Mullins is out.

Impact Ryan McKenna replaced Mullins in center field after the latter player suffered the injury while running out a grounder to first base in his eighth-inning plate appearance. Mullins limped back to the dugout after the out was recorded and might have tweaked his calf or hamstring, though the Orioles should offer a proper diagnosis shortly after the game. He went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks on the day.
