Mullins went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has gone 0-for-10 since he returned from a quadriceps injury that cost him two games. While his bat remains cold, it's a good sign he was able to make an impact on the basepaths when given a chance. Mullins has five steals over his last 12 games and 24 steals on 29 attempts this year. He's added a .219/.284/.385 slash line with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples across 393 plate appearances.

Mullins (quad) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game versus Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Left quadricep tightness forced Mullins to make an early exit from Friday's game, and he'll take at least one day to recover. In the meantime, Austin Slater, Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander will serve as Baltimore's outfield trio.

Mullins was removed from Friday's game against the Astros due to left quad tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins went 0-for-1 with a walk before his quad forced him to come out of Friday's contest in the fifth inning. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss any amount of time, Austin Slater, who entered as Mullins' replacement, would be the favorite to pick up additional starts in the outfield.

Mullins went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has been more active on the basepaths with three steals over his last four games. It helps that the outfielder has gone 8-for-27 (.296) across his last 10 contests, which is one of his better stretches this season. For the year, he's at a .224/.283/.397 slash line with 22 steals, 13 home runs, 41 RBI and 51 runs scored over 373 plate appearances. He remains limited to a strong-side platoon role in center field, with Colton Cowser often shifting over from left when the Orioles face a southpaw.
