    Advice: Abreu played the second game of a rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, starting in right field, and signaled his readiness for an activation by launching two solo home runs.

  • Two hits, two steals in win
    Mullins went 2-for-5 with one RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

    Advice: 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.

  • Cedric Mullins with game-winning hit, two steals
    Cedric Mullins went 2-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored, and two stolen bases in the Orioles’ 7-6 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

    Advice: Mullins played hero in this exciting game with a bloop single that gave Baltimore the lead in the 10th inning. He then came around to score after Jose Trevino sailed a throw into left field as Mullins stole third base. A weight seemed to lift off his shoulders as he crossed the plate, playing the hero in what’s been a disastrous season thus far. Mullins isn’t out of the woods yet, but this game was a welcome sight.

    Abreu (ankle) served as Triple-A Worcester's designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a walk in his first rehab game Tuesday.

    Advice: The Red Sox plan to have him play again for Worcester on Wednesday with the hope that he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series against the Reds in Cincinnati, per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.

  • Washington: José Soriano unlikely to need IL stint
    José Soriano is dealing with an infection.

    Advice: Angels manager Ron Washington elaborated Tuesday that there’s no concern that Soriano will require a trip to the injured list, but likely won’t take the ball until next week. The 25-year-old was scratched from Monday’s start against the Brewers due to abdominal pain. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:40 pm
     
  • Dealing with infection

Manager Ron Washington said Tuesday there's not a concern that Soriano will need to be placed on the injured list, so he'll likely be back before the end of June. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:28 pm
     
  • Idle Tuesday
    Mullins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:31 pm
