Cedric Mullins II went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Orioles' 3-2 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Mullins' ability to connect for his sixth homer of the season is a silver lining for fantasy managers. His batting average remains a concern at .232 over 25 games, indicating a need for improvement in making consistent contact, as reflected by his low .228 BABIP. However, his power-speed combination, with six home runs and five stolen bases, keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups. Owners should monitor his strikeout and walk rates, hoping for signs of discipline improvement to boost his on-base opportunities.

Fantasy Impact

His season batting average sits at .259, with five home runs, 15 RBI, and three stolen bases this season. Fantasy managers should continue to view Mullins as a viable outfield option.
