Mullins went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins appears to have slipped into a strong-side platoon role. He's been just okay in September, hitting .280 (7-for-25) with two extra-base hits and two steals over nine contests. The veteran outfielder is slashing .247/.324/.441 with 13 home runs, 17 thefts, 63 RBI and 44 runs scored through 96 games this season. Aaron Hicks and Ryan McKenna have typically moved to center field when Mullins is on the bench.

Mullins will sit against lefty Chris Sale and the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins has spent large stretches of the season as a true everyday player, but the Orioles have turned to other players in center field against the last three southpaws they've faced. Aaron Hicks will get that assignment Saturday. Mullins has had fairly standard splits this season, posting a .787 OPS against righties and a .721 OPS against lefties, which means he wouldn't look out of place in a genuine everyday role but is no lock to reclaim one down the stretch.

Mullins remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins was on the bench Tuesday with the Angels throwing left-hander Reid Detmers and he'll take a seat again Wednesday as southpaw Patrick Sandoval toes the slab. Austin Hays, Aaron Hicks and Anthony Santander are starting across the outfield for the Orioles.

Mullins isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Reid Detmers will draw the start Tuesday for Los Angeles, so Mullins will stay put in Baltimore's dugout to begin the game. Ryan McKenna will take over in center field and bat eighth while Mullins sits.

Mullins went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 7-3 victory versus the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins had the big hit in Baltimore's six-run fourth inning, belting a three-run shot to right field to put the Orioles on the scoreboard. That long ball accounted for more RBI than he had logged over his previous seven games combined, as he came into the contest in the midst of a 3-for-24 stretch at the plate. Mullins has battled a groin injury through much of the campaign and hasn't yet found a groove, though he's been moderately productive with a .245/.324/.447 slash line, 13 homers, 60 RBI, 41 runs and 16 stolen bases over 367 plate appearances.

Mullins went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins lifted a fly ball in the fifth over the right field wall to provide the Orioles with their initial run of the contest. It was the 12th homer of the year for Mullins and just his third off a fellow southpaw. Mullins, who also drew a walk, had been struggling coming into the game with just a .196 average and one walk in 51 August at-bats. He's spent the past week hitting out of the bottom third of the lineup as he attempts to break out of his slump.

Mullins is not in the lineup Friday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and two RBI in Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays, but he'll take a seat Friday with the Rockies sending left-hander Kyle Freeland to the mound. Ryan McKenna is patrolling center field for the host Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins put the Orioles ahead 4-2 with his 11th homer of the year, a two-run blast off Jose Berrios in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old outfielder had been slumping a bit of late, going 4-for-24 (.167) over his prior six contests. Overall, his slash line is up to .253/.328/.448 with 55 RBI, 36 runs scored and 15 steals across 338 plate appearances this season.

Mullins isn't in the Orioles' lineup Sunday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Mullins is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts since returning from the injured list Friday, and he'll get a day off Sunday to clear his head. Mullins' absence opens up a spot for James McCann to enter the lineup and bat ninth while starting behind the dish.
