• Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Quiet start in Grapefruit League

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Mullins went 0-for-3 in Monday's Grapefruit League game against Boston and is now 1-for-13 during spring training. After spending most of last season batting in the bottom part of the order, it remains unclear if the 30-year-old outfielder will be able to hit in the top part of Baltimore's lineup in 2025. Anthony Santander's exit this past offseason opens up an opportunity for Mullins to settle into a favorable lineup spot, but the Orioles may want to see the latter find a rhythm this spring before granting him that chance. Mullins' playing time was also fairly sporadic a year ago, but he's likely to handle the bulk of the reps in center field and offers enough power and speed to be worthy of drafting in most mixed fantasy leagues.

• Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Homers in Sunday's loss

  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mullins went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers. It was Mullins' first homer since Sept. 10. He's hit safely in three straight games but has otherwise displayed a bit of inconsistency in September, batting .258 (17-for-66) with five homers, five stolen bases and 13 RBI over 18 contests. He's at least been able to secure steady playing time in center field, though he was at the bottom of the order Sunday following the returns of Jordan Westburg and Ramon Urias. Mullins has typically hit between sixth and eighth in the lineup this season.
