Cedric Mullins returns to Orioles lineup from injured list.
The Baltimore Orioles have activated center fielder Cedric Mullins from the injured list after a four-week absence due to a groin strain. The Orioles also recalled Bruce Zimmermann from Triple-A Norfolk to serve as long relief insurance. Mullins has been plugged back into his customary leadoff spot, while Zimmermann is expected to get through four or five innings in a blowout. The Orioles have played to an 11-9 record while Mullins was out, and the signing of Aaron Hicks has helped stabilize the offense out of the center field spot.
