Cedric Mullins II went 3-for-4 in the Orioles' 9-7 win over the Yankees, with a double, three runs scored, and two stolen bases.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Mullins, who is batting just .230 through 144 games. His ability to impact the game with his speed was on full display, as evidenced by his pair of stolen bases, pushing his season total to 32. While his batting average and on-base skills have been less than stellar, his combination of power and speed continues to hold value in fantasy formats, especially in categories leagues. Moving forward, Mullins remains a viable fantasy option primarily for his speed and run-scoring potential, despite the batting average risk.

Cedric Mullins II is back in the lineup for the Baltimore Orioles against the Detroit Tigers Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Mullins returns after sitting out against a left-handed starting pitcher Friday night, patrolling center field and batting second against the Tigers for manager Brandon Hyde Saturday.

Cedric Mullins II went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Orioles' 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Mullins' performance included a walk, contributing to his season's modest .234 batting average and .312 wOBA. Despite the low average, his ability to mix in stolen bases, as evidenced by his 28 steals this season, keeps his fantasy value afloat in categories leagues. Mullins' power numbers are decent with 17 homers, but his overall production has been hampered by a low BABIP of .259. Fantasy managers should continue to value him for his speed and occasional power, though his batting average may limit his appeal in average-based formats.

Cedric Mullins II went 2-for-4 in the Orioles' 5-3 victory over the Red Sox, delivering two home runs, two runs scored, three RBI, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact

This performance might seem like a beacon of hope for fantasy managers, but it's a mere drop in the ocean given his season-long struggles. With a batting average lingering at .236 and a wOBA of .315, Mullins has been more of a fantasy headache than a hero. His power-speed combo, highlighted by 17 homers and 27 steals, keeps him relevant, but inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play. Today's game, while impressive, should be viewed with cautious optimism rather than a sign of a turnaround.
