Mullins flashed his speed Sunday with a pair of triples, including a two-run triple in the fourth inning before scoring the game-tying run on an Austin Hays sacrifice fly.

Mullins went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 10-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Mullins went 2-for-6 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday in a 7-6 loss to the Mets.

Mullins singled in his first two at-bats and came around to score in the first but otherwise was kept in check for the night. The 26-year-old is rocking a six-game hit streak while piling up five base knocks over his last two games. Austin Hays (ribs) has a chance to return next week but it may be difficult for manager Brandon Hyde to take Mullins' hot bat out of the lineup.

Mullins (undisclosed) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Mullins wasn't in the lineup over the past two games for an undisclosed reason, but he'll play center field and bat ninth Tuesday. It's unclear whether the unspecified issue will hinder him at all going forward.

Mullins is considered day-to-day, although manager Brandon Hyde did not say why, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mullins had a homer in the first game of Friday's doubleheader and followed up with his fourth steal in the nightcap. He has been conspicuous by his absence since then, and we still don't know the specifics of the issue. Mason Williams gets the nod in center field Sunday.

Mullins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win during Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Yankees.

Mullins hit a leadoff home run in Friday's matinee, but his production at the plate decreased later in the game as he went hitless in his next two at-bats. The Orioles were able to generate some run production later on but had to settle for a loss in extra innings. Mullins is now hitting .269 with two home runs and three RBI this year.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Mason Williams will enter the lineup in center field as a replacement for Mullins, who gets a breather after starting 12 consecutive games. During that stretch, Mullins went 13-for-41 (.317) with a home run, two stolen bases and four runs.

Mullins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base Wednesday against the Rays.

Mullins led off for the Orioles and was regularly on base, recording his fifth multi-hit game of the campaign. He also added his third steal of the season, his first since Aug. 18. While Mullins has very little power, he has a decent .280/.333/.360 line across 55 plate appearances and could be a source of stolen bases so long as Austin Hays (ribs) remains sidelined.

Mullins went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, but it wasn't enough as the Orioles fell 8-5 to the Red Sox on Friday.

Since being recalled a week ago for the injured Austin Hays (ribs), Mullins is hitting .476/.500/.619 across 21 at-bats. Hays doesn't appear to be ready to return from the injured list Tuesday when first eligible, so Mullins should continue to see increased opportunity in center field for the time being.

Mullins went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Mullins got aboard with a single and stole second in the second inning. It was his second stolen base of the season. The outfielder has slashed .217/.308/.217 with three runs scored across 26 plate appearances.

Mullins was recalled Saturday from the Orioles' alternate training site when Austin Hays (ribs) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Mullins was optioned to the team's alternate site exactly a week ago after managing just one hit in his first 13 at-bats of the season. He should split time in center field with Andrew Velazquez for the time being.

Mullins was optioned to the alternate training site Saturday.

Mullins saw inconsistent playing time over the start of the season while hitting just .077 with two runs and one stolen base over nine games. The 25-year-old could be one of the first players to be called up if the Orioles experience injuries in the outfield this year. Southpaw Keegan Akin was recalled in a corresponding move.

Mullins was added to the Orioles' 60-man roster Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Although Mullins is on the team's 40-man roster, he was left out of the team's initial player pool. However, he'll join the 60-man roster with a couple weeks remaining until the start of the regular season. Mullins was optioned to Triple-A before the end of spring training, during which he went 4-for-19 with two RBI and three stolen bases. Given his lack of production at the major-league level with a limited sample, it's unlikely that he'll play a sizable role in the big leagues in 2020.

The Orioles optioned Mullins to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Mullins broke camp last spring as the Orioles' Opening Day center fielder, but he quickly squandered most of his goodwill. After a 6-for-64 start to the campaign, he was demoted to the minors, spending most of the season there and finishing with a middling .233/.302/.347 between stops at Norfolk and Double-A Bowie. The 25-year-old may need a bounce-back season in the minors in order to maintain his spot on the 40-man roster heading into next winter.

Mullins spent two weeks with a hitting instructor this offseason to improve his swing, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Mullins began the 2019 season as the Orioles' starting center fielder, but struggled to .094/.181/.156 line across 74 plate appearances before being demoted. Trying to get back to the major leagues, he worked with an instructor from Premier Pitching and Performance this offseason. Mullins isn't a favorite to begin the season in Baltimore after posting a .578 OPS for Triple-A Norfolk over 66 games last year, but he could enter the conversation with a strong spring training.

Mullins was sent to Double-A Bowie on Thursday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mullins started the 2019 campaign in the big leagues, where he struggled to a 6-for-64 start over 22 games before being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. He's since slashed .205/.272/.306 with five homers and 24 RBI over 66 contests with the Tides, and Baltimore has elected to send him down another level to allow him to regain his swing.
