Rotowire
Mullins isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers since he's feeling under the weather, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The center fielder has apparently been battling the ailment for the past few days, and he'll receive a well-deserved break after playing all 18 innings of Saturday's doubleheader. Dylan Carlson will take over for Mullins in center field Sunday.

Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Homer, stolen base in loss
Rotowire
Mullins went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Mullins led off the bottom of the first inning with a 374-foot blast off Tanner Houck, his third already this season, to cut Baltimore's deficit to 2-1. The 31-year-old Mullins has gotten off to a fast start, going 8-for-26 with 11 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in his first seven games. Thursday's outing was the first time Mullins has batted leadoff this year, though he's unlikely to remain atop the order with Gunnar Henderson (side) expected to rejoin the Orioles on Friday.
Mullins went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Monday's win over the Red Sox.
Mullins played a key part in each of Baltimore's two four-run innings; he doubled in a pair of runs in the first inning and brought home two more with a single in the eighth. Mullins has been on fire to start the 2025 campaign, going 7-for-18 (.350) with 10 RBI and three extra-base hits through five games. Last year, it took him 11 games to collect seven hits and 15 games to reach 10 RBI.

Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Breaks out of spring slump
Rotowire
Mullins went 3-for-5 with two home runs, five RBI, and two runs scored in Thursday's 12-2 win over Toronto.
Mullins took Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning, and he later smashed a three-run homer during the seventh frame to get the Opening Day rout fully underway. The 30-year-old outfielder struggled during spring training while batting .136 (6-for-44) with one homer and five RBI, but he should play close to an everyday role in center field this season and could even work his way up Baltimore's batting order if his bat continues to heat up.
