Cedric Mullins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is out of the Orioles lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a matchup decision as the Royals are starting their dynamic lefty Cole Ragans. Jorge Mateo will be starting in center field in place of Mullins. Mateo has been much stronger against lefties, hitting for a .908 OPS compared to Mullins' .388 OPS in 16 PA. The 29-year-old should be expected to be back in the lineup on Sunday as the Orioles will face off against Royals right-hander Seth Lugo.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. There was some thought that Mullins would return to the leadoff spot this season, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, Mullins normally sits in the sixth spot where he has hit well this season. On Wednesday, Mullins was hitless until he blasted a walkoff two-run home run off right-hander Griffin Jax. Mullins now has five home runs and 15 RBI through 18 games.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins did it all in Monday's 7-4 win over the Twins. Mullins went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, three RBI, and an amazing diving catch. The 29-year-old is off to an encouraging start after a down 2023 and is now slashing .265/.321/.551 with four HR, 12 runs scored, 13 RBI, and two stolen bases in 57 plate appearances. He should provide fantasy value as long as he can produce enough to see routine time in one of baseball's best lineups.

Baltimore Orioles outfield Cedric Mullins is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with the team taking on left-hander Cole Ragans and the Kansas City Royals. It's just a routine day of rest for Mullins after he started each of the first five games of the season. With the 29-year-old sitting out, Jorge Mateo is getting the start in center field and will hit seventh for the O's. Mateo will be looking for his first career hit against Ragans. He's only faced the southpaw two times before. Mullins could probably use the rest day, as he's gotten off to a slow start to his 2024 campaign, going 3-for-18 (.167) with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and seven strikeouts in his first 19 plate appearances. Fantasy managers need to make sure to take Mullins out of their lineups for the early start on Wednesday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (hamstring) is scheduled to return to the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Mullins left a spring training game last week with a right-hamstring discomfort last week and has been held out of action since as a precaution. It appears the 29-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is fine now, though, so he will return to game action on Thursday and should be fine for Opening Day at the end of March. After breaking out in 2021 with a 30-30 campaign and a .291 batting average, Mullins' power and average have come down in the last two seasons. It's looking more like his 2021 season was an outlier, but Mullins, when healthy, can still provide an interesting mix of power and speed in a strong Baltimore lineup.
