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.

Mullins went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins was the initial runner in the 10th inning and promptly stole third before scoring the game's lone run on a Ryan Mountcastle single. Mullins is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over two games since returning from the injured list, but the good news is he's played every inning in center field. The speedy outfielder has 15 steals and a .251/.338/.440 slash line over 71 contests in an injury-plagued season.

Mullins (groin) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins missed over three weeks with a right adductor strain and didn't do very well in his return to the majors. He should maintain a starting role in center field, though Colton Cowser and Austin Hays could also see time there if Mullins has a sluggish first few games back. For the season, Mullins is slashing .255/.342/.447 with nine home runs, 14 stolen bases, 47 RBI and 33 runs scored over 294 plate appearances.

Mullins (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sidelined for more than three weeks with a right adductor strain, the center fielder has been cleared to rejoin the Orioles following a four-game rehab stint with Double-A Bowie. Mullins has been limited to 69 games this season but has been productive for fantasy managers when on the field, slashing .259/.347/.454 with nine home runs and 14 stolen bases.

Mullins (groin) will appear in his fourth rehab game with Double-A Bowie on Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has gone 3-for-15 over his first three games with Bowie and will get one more opportunity to work on getting his timing back in the plate and potentially playing some innings in center field. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that if he checks out fine following Wednesday's appearance, Mullins could be activated from the 10-day injured list in advance of Friday's series opener in Seattle.

Mullins (groin) is playing in another rehab game Tuesday with Double-A Bowie, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins kicked off his rehab assignment Saturday with Bowie and has gone 1-for-10 through two games. Out since July 19 because of a right groin strain, the 28-year-old outfielder should be back on the Orioles' active roster by the end of this week.

Mullins (groin) is expected back in the next 10-14 days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
We already knew Mullins was expected back in early August, but this new timeline puts it closer to the middle of the month. Once healthy, Mullins should reprise his role as an everyday player against righties and a part-time player against southpaws.

Mullins (groin) appears on course to return in early August, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a groin injury but recently advanced to running. It's not clear whether Mullins will require a rehab assignment before returning, but Orioles general manager Mike Elias expects the outfielder to be with the big club for a "large part of August."

Mullins (groin) is scheduled to do some running Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has already been hitting and throwing, but the big test for his right adductor strain will be sprinting work and agility drills. He's been on the 10-day injured list since July 19 and there remains no timetable for his return, though the dynamic center fielder seems to be making significant progress this week.

Mullins (groin) said Thursday that he's not sure how long he'll be sidelined, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins is dealing with a right adductor strain, which is an injury similar to what kept him out for nearly a month during the first half. He is able to perform all baseball activities other than running, but it's not clear when he might be cleared to perform the latter activity. Aaron Hicks has been handling center field for the Orioles with Mullins out.
