Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News
Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's no secret that the Baltimore Orioles have been off their game this year, with a last-place start leading to the dismissal of manager Brandon Hyde. Advertisement Few things have gone right for the 2023 AL East champs, with star catcher Adley Rutschman hitting .203, which ranks last among qualified hitters. The Orioles' 5.38 ERA as a pitching staff is third worst in the league, shortly behind the historically-bad Colorado Rockies' 5.61. One of the bright spots has been outfielder Cedric Mullins, who had a strong April but weak stats in May. Mullins was placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, and a prediction surfaced about the long-time Oriole. Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (31) hits a Hildred-Imagn Images Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller listed Mullins as one of the nine players likely to be on the move, along with Sandy Alcantara, Luis Robert Jr, and Mullins' teammate Ryan O'Hearn, among others. Advertisement The Orioles finished 54-108 in 2018 and seemingly tanked, with the hope that an influx of young talent would get them back to their winning ways. That seemed to arrive in 2022 and 2023, with the arrival of Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Grayson Rodriguez, Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday generating plenty optimism about the Orioles as a dynasty. Things haven't changed all that much, though injuries to Rodriguez, Cowser, Westburg and new acquisition Tyler O'Neill among others have left the O's depleted. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle was placed on the IL Saturday along with Mullins. Advertisement As the Orioles' injured list continues to grow, so will the calls for a near-complete sell for Mike Elias' team in a year that feels somewhat of a throwaway two months deep. Mullins, who will be a free agent after this season, seems likely to be dealt.

Orioles place 1B Ryan Mountcastle on the injured list with a hamstring strain
BALTMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed Ryan Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday, a day after the first baseman left in the eighth inning of a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox with discomfort. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Mountcastle had an MRI. 'Just hopeful that it's not too bad,' Mansolino said. Mountcastle, who is hitting .246 with two homers and 15 RBIs, is the second Orioles player in as many days to go on the injured list with a hamstring strain after Cedric Mullins did so Friday. Mountcastle is one of five players from Baltimore's opening day lineup who are currently on the injured list, joining Mullins, outfielders Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill, and infielder Jordan Westburg. Both Cowser and Westburg are currently on rehabilitation assignments at Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles recalled infielder Coby Mayo from Norfolk to take Mountcastle's roster spot. Mansolino said Mayo, who was in Baltimore's lineup Saturday as the designated hitter, could see time at first base. Baltimore also selected the contract of outfielder Jordyn Adams from Norfolk and designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment. ___ AP MLB:

Orioles Receive Bad News After Second Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles (19-36) couldn't be more disappointing so far.

Baltimore Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins (31).Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images "The Orioles have placed OF Cedric Mullins on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain," he reported on Friday. "They re-signed UTL Cooper Hummel to replace him on the roster and transferred Cody Poteet to the 60-day." Advertisement Mullins is slashing .232/.324/.448 across 50 games. Baltimore selected Mullins in the 13th round of the 2015 MLB Draft and called him up in August 2018.

Colton Cowser (thumb) is on the 60-day IL, and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is on the 10-day. The team will rely on backups Dylan Carlson and Hummel in the meantime, unless they acquire someone else.

Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins goes on 10-day IL with hamstring strain
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain prior to their series-opener against the Chicago White Sox. Mullins has played 50 games, including all nine innings of Wednesday's loss to St. Louis after missing the first two games of the series. He is leading the struggling Orioles with 10 home runs, 31 RBIs and 19 extra-base hits. Baltimore (19-36) began Friday with baseball's third-worst record after consecutive playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024. Mullins' IL stint comes as Baltimore anticipates the return of 2024 AL Rookie of the Year runner-up and outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb), who is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles signed utility player Cooper Hummel to a one-year major league contract in a corresponding move. Baltimore could be one of only a few sellers at the MLB trade deadline, with Mullins as one of the most movable pieces. The 30-year-old Mullins will hit free agency in 2026. He can play all three outfield positions and has exceeded 15 home runs and 50 RBIs in each of the last four seasons. He earned a 2021 All-Star appearance while homering 30 times, contributing 59 RBIs and batting .291 in 159 games. ___ AP MLB:
