Mullins went 3-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. The veteran center fielder tied his season high in knocks, with his last three-hit effort coming back on Sept. 2. Mullins has turned things around over the final month of the regular season, slashing .270/.357/.500 through 20 games in September with five homers, 12 runs, 13 RBI and a perfect 7-for-7 showing on the basepaths.

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.

Mullins (neck) is batting second and playing center field Saturday against Detroit. Mullins collided with Austin Slater during Thursday's game and was unavailable for Friday's contest due to neck stiffness.

Mullins was unavailable for Friday's game against the Tigers due to neck discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The 29-year-old's neck issue stems from his collision with Austin Slater during Thursday's contest. The Orioles haven't offered any information regarding the severity of Mullins' injury, but he can be considered day-to-day for now. Slater, Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander started across Baltimore's outfield Friday, and the O's would likely roll out the same trio if Mullins is unable to play Saturday.
