The Orioles placed Mullins on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right adductor groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore had previously labeled the injury that kept Mullins out of the lineup for the previous three games as a right quadricep tightness, but follow-up tests evidently revealed a slightly different diagnosis for the outfielder. Whatever the case, Mullins won't be eligible for activation until July 26, and it's possible that he misses more than the minimum amount of time if he isn't ready to resume baseball activities by this weekend. While Mullins is sidelined, Aaron Hicks will likely serve as his primary replacement in center field.

Mullins (quad) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third straight start Mullins has missed after he tweaked his right quad during Saturday's game versus the Marlins. The outfielder said Tuesday that he hopes to play this week and the injured list has not been a consideration. Aaron Hicks is again in center field for Baltimore on Tuesday.

Mullins (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins will hit the bench for a second straight day while he manages a tight right quad. The Orioles are seemingly viewing the quad issue as a day-to-day situation, so Mullins doesn't yet appear to be at risk of landing on the 10-day injured list. Aaron Hicks will spell Mullins in center field and bat sixth Monday.

Mullins was lifted from Saturday's game against the Marlins in the second inning due to right quad tightness, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins came up lame while running from first base to third base on a foul ball and had to be removed for a pinch runner. He had an RBI single in his lone plate appearance before exiting. The Orioles could offer more on a potential timetable for the outfielder after the game, but it would certainly seem to be an injury capable of sending Mullins to the injured list.

Mullins was removed from Saturday's game versus the Marlins with an apparent injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins appeared to tweak something while running from first to third on a foul ball hit by Jordan Westburg in the second inning and was replaced by a pinch-runner. He missed nearly a month of action earlier this season with a groin injury, although it's not clear if that's what he's dealing with this time around.

Mullins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The center fielder took Sandy Alcantara deep in the fourth inning, giving Mullins his first homer since he returned in late June from a nearly month-long absence due to a groin injury. The steal was also his first since late May, and Mullins had been slashing just .192/.279/.269 in 14 games since rejoining the lineup. If the 28-year-old is now fully healthy coming out of the All-Star break, a big second half could be on the horizon.

Mullins will sit Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins hits the bench even with a righty (Sonny Gray) set to take the mound for Minnesota. He's been scuffling at the plate since returning from a groin strain in late June, posting a .502 OPS in 13 games while getting caught in his only attempt to steal. Aaron Hicks will be Saturday's center fielder.

Mullins (groin) was activated from the injured list and is leading off Saturday against the Mariners, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has been sidelined just short of a month with a groin injury and will immediately return to his typical role as the Orioles' leadoff hitter. He participated in three rehab games prior to being activated and collected one hit across 10 at-bats. Aaron Hicks and Austin Hays will play on either side of Mullins in the outfield.
