EDGE Analysis
Mullins broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning with a solo shot to right field. The outfielder finished with his fifth multi-hit effort over his past seven contests, a span in which he's batting .407 (11-for-27) with two homers, four RBI and seven runs. Mullins was hitting .170 at the end of the day June 8 but has ridden a recent hot streak to bring that mark up to a more respectable .214.

Mullins went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has multiple hits in three straight games, and he's added a pair of extra-base hits and three steals in that span. He's batting .333 (14-for-42) over his last 12 contests, a stretch that has helped him regain a starting role in center field. The outfielder is batting .202 on the year -- this is the first time he's been at or above .200 since May 8. He's added a .592 OPS, seven home runs, 25 RBI, 35 runs scored and a team-leading 16 steals.

Mullins went 2-for-6 with a double, a two-run homer and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins capitalized on a hanging slider from Luis Gil in the top of the second and sent it into the stands in right field for a two-run shot, giving the Orioles an early 3-1 lead. The outfielder would then add a double in the ninth before coming around to score for a third time, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games. Mullins has also scored multiple runs in two straight contests, while Thursday's home run marked his first long ball since April 26 against the Athletics.

Mullins went 2-for-5 with one RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in 7-6 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins singled, stole second base and scored on a Ramon Urias home run in the fifth inning. He then took over in the 10th frame, hitting an RBI single, stealing third and scoring on an errant throw. Mullins saw a five-game hitting streak come to an end Tuesday but responded with a big game that included his first RBI in the month of June. While his .193 batting average is obviously disappointing, Mullins has still managed to accumulate six home runs and 15 steals over 224 plate appearances in 2024.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins' playing time has fluctuated over the last few weeks, but he's now made five consecutive starts in center field and seems to have reclaimed a near everyday gig. Still, Mullins will get the day off Tuesday, giving way to Colton Cowser in center.

Mullins will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins appeared to have lost hold of his regular spot in the outfield to Austin Hays earlier this month, but the former has seemingly regained the gig. Hays is sitting for the Orioles' third straight matchup with a right-hander (Zack Wheeler), while the lefty-hitting Mullins has started on each of those occasions and also started against a southpaw (Ranger Suarez) on Friday. Mullins enters Sunday's game riding a four-game hitting streak.

Mullins went 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins entered Sunday 0-for-22 over his last eight games. He was able to break the drought with a fifth-inning single before adding a leadoff triple in the seventh. The outfielder has two steals over his last four contests even amid his deep slump. Mullins is slashing just .178/.227/.317 with 13 steals, six home runs, 22 RBI and 25 runs scored over 194 plate appearances this season. He's picked up extra work while Austin Hays (ribs) has been limited to a bench role, but Mullins is likely to see a smaller role once the Orioles' outfield is back to full health.

Mullins is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The last time Mullins made a start against a lefty came back on May 15 against Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi is on the mound again for Thursday's tilt, but Mullins will begin the series finale on the bench. Colton Cowser will patrol center field Thursday while Austin Hays handles left field.

Mullins went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins has seen his playing time dip amid his prolonged struggles at the plate. He's gone just 9-for-73 (.123) with a 3:24 BB:K over 26 contests since the start of May, though he has managed to pick up six steals in that span despite his troubles getting on base. Mullins is slashing a meager .178/.225/.314 with 12 steals, six home runs, 22 RBI and 23 runs scored over 182 plate appearances this year. Austin Hays and Colton Cowser have been the main players to benefit from Mullins' decreased playing time, and the Orioles aren't short on prospects to call up if they choose to mix up the composition of outfielders on their roster.
