    • Cedric Mullins sits against another righty Friday
      Cedric Mullins is absent from the Orioles’ starting lineup on Friday night against the Mariners.

      Advice: It’s starting to become a trend that the once-feared slugger is now sitting against right-handers. Mullins has now found himself stationed on the pine three times in the team’s past five ballgames. Colton Cowser will cover center field in his place while Kyle Stowers will draw a start in left field and bat eighth for the O’s against Bryce Miller and the Mariners.

    • Losing playing time
      Mullins is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

      Advice: Mullins will be on the bench for the third time in the last five games despite the O's facing a right-handed pitcher Friday. The left-handed Mullins is amid a massive slump, batting .085 with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate in 63 plate appearances since April 22. Colton Cowser has been earning more work in center field and will start there Friday while Kyle Stowers and Ryan O'Hearn fill out the outfield. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:11 pm
       
    • Swipes eighth bag
      Marte went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Phillies.

      Advice: It's the fourth multi-hit performance for Marte in May, but he has just four total hits in his other 10 contests on the month. The veteran outfielder is a perfect 8-for-8 on the season in steal attempts though, keeping his fantasy value afloat despite a lackluster .259/.305/.370 slash line that comes with four homers, 15 RBI and 21 runs in 35 games.

    • Cedric Mullins gets pulled for pinch-hitter
      Cedric Mullins, who was dropped to ninth in Baltimore’s lineup, was lifted for a pinch-hitter after opening up 0-for-2 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Mullins is 0-for-16 with eight strikeouts in his last five games and 5-for-59 with a 19/4 K/BB in his last 18 games. He was off to fine start before that, but the Orioles seem to have real concerns about the way he’s performing, given that he was just held out of the starting lineup twice against righties over the weekend. He’s down to .183/.234/.349 for the season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:14 pm
       
    • Resting against lefty
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: The Royals will stock up some extra right-handed bats to counter Angels southpaw Patrick Sandoval, so the lefty-hitting Melendez will head to the bench for the series finale. Dairon Blanco will replace Melendez in left field. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:33 am

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Smith is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Smith went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 loss. He will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as the Rockies send out southpaw Ty Blach. Ezequiel Duran will fill in for Smith at third base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:19 am

    • Sitting in second straight game
      Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Mullins is on the bench for the second straight game against a right-handed starting pitcher, with Colton Cowser once again sliding over from left field to cover center field in Mullins' stead. The Orioles haven't indicated that Mullins is dealing with an injury or illness, so the back-to-back days out of the lineup likely indicate that he's at risk of moving into a part-time role, if he hasn't already. Mullins is off to a rough start to the season, having posted a career-low .611 OPS and career-worst 25.2 percent strikeout rate across 131 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:56 am
       
    • Cedric Mullins out again Sunday against D-Backs
      Cedric Mullins is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Mullins is sitting for a second consecutive game against a right-handed pitcher. Colton Cowser is patrolling center field Sunday against Zac Gallen and he’ll hit sixth. Mullins has not been effective thus far in 2024 with a .611 OPS in 37 games, and he’s in danger of losing more playing time in a talented Baltimore outfield. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:11 am
       
    • Not starting Saturday
      Mullins is not in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

      Advice: Mullins has struggled over his last three outings, going 1-for-12 with five strikeouts over that span. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Mullins is "pressing big-time," per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, though Mullins is still available off the bench for Saturday's contest. Heston Kjerstad will start at left field while Colton Cowser shifts to center field. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:37 am
