Cedric Mullins Taking Thursday Off rotoballer.com Thu 5/18/23 12:01 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Tyler Anderson.

Overall, the 28-year-old is hitting .261 (41-for-157) with six home runs, 34 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 21 runs scored in 43 games played. He's gone 16-for-59 (.271) with four doubles, a...

Cedric Mullins Hits For The Cycle rotoballer.com Fri 5/12/23 10:17 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle during Friday's 6-3 win over the Pirates. The 28-year-old looked fantastic, collecting a single in the third inning, a triple in the fifth inning, and a double in the seventh inning. But he capped off the night with a 376-foot shot to right field, driving in three runs. Mullins snapped a five-game RBI drought in this one. However, he's been a potent fantasy option this season, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.

Cedric Mullins Moves Back Into Leadoff Spot rotoballer.com Fri 4/21/23 3:00 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will shift back into the leadoff spot for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed slugger hit ninth against a southpaw on Thursday, but is back at the top of the lineup now. This is a situation to monitor for fantasy managers with Mullins in a slump at the plate right now. Possibly, Mullins turns into a platoon player if he doesn't get back on track. For now, he'll bat leadoff and play center field against right-hander Michael ...

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins continued to show off his speed in Monday's 2-0 win over the Rangers. Mullins went 0-for-2 with two walks, a strikeout, and a stolen base.

The 28-year-old is off to a great start, slashing .333/.474/.733 with two home runs, seven RBI, and four stolen bases. It was only two seasons ago that Mullins hit ...

Cedric Mullins Avoids Arbitration rotoballer.com Fri 1/13/23 1:12 PM

The Baltimore Orioles and outfielder Cedric Mullins avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.1 million deal. Mullins was a first-time All-Star for the O's in 2021 in his fourth big-league season, but he wasn't nearly as good in 2022, hitting .258/.318/.403 with a .721 OPS, 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 89 runs scored and a career-high 34 stolen bases in 672 plate appearances and 156 games. The 28-year-old really struggled against left-handed pitching in 2022, so he'll need to ...

Cedric Mullins 2023 Outlook: Overpriced Speed Play Presents Risk Ev... rotoballer.com Thu 12/1/22 11:33 AM

Cedric Mullins did not repeat his outstanding 2021 season, slashing .258/.318/.403 with 16 HR and 34 SB last season. Fantasy managers can likely count on another 30+ steals, but the rest of Mullins's profile has more questions than answers. His HR/FB was cut in half from 15.5% in 2021 to 7.8% last year. The Orioles moving the fences in is partially responsible for this change, but Mullins also lost a full tick of average airborne exit velocity (92.4 mph to 91.3) and a substantial percentage of ...
