Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Cedric Mullins (illness) is starting in center field and is hitting cleanup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Yankees at Camden Yards. Mullins will face Yankees right-hander
Will Warren, who he has never faced in his career. The 30-year-old outfielder didn't play in Sunday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers because he didn't feel well, but he's back in action a day later. Since being moved to the leadoff spot by the O's on April 18, Mullins has gone 8-for-31 (.258) with two home runs, three RBI, two steals and five runs scored in 37 trips to the plate. Overall, he's hitting a solid .279/.421/.547 with six home runs, 20 RBI, five steals and 17 runs scored in the first month of the season. Mullins has added DFS appeal against righties as long as he's in the leadoff spot. Return him to your fantasy lineups to begin the week.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Cedric Mullins (illness) is out of the team's lineup for their series finale against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The 30-year-old has reportedly been battling an illness over the last few days, though he did play all 18 innings across the team's doubleheader on Saturday, so it seems like just some extra rest for him. Mullins has been excellent this season, slashing .279/.421/.547 with six long balls, five doubles, and five steals. Perhaps even more impressive, he's raised his walk rate to a robust 17.1%. If it stands, that'd be the highest figure of his career by far.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Cedric Mullins provided a spark last night, going 2-for-3 with a home run in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Mullins blasted a solo shot in the seventh inning to put Baltimore on the scoreboard. He also singled in the fifth and drew a walk in Tuesday’s defeat. Mullins is now hitting .300 (15-for-50) with four home runs, 17 RBI, 10 runs, and three stolen bases on the season and continues to produce solid numbers from the bottom of Baltimore’s lineup. Mullins and the Orioles will look to bounce back Wednesday night in the middle game of a three-game set hosting the Guardians.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Cedric Mullins was productive out of the leadoff spot on Thursday despite an 8-4 loss to the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards, as he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a strikeout. Mullins' third home run of the year came in the first inning to lead off the bottom half of the inning against right-hander
Tanner Houck in which he just hooked it inside the right-field foul pole on a screaming liner on a changeup. It's been a fast start for the 30-year-old outfielder, as he now has eight hits in his first 26 at-bats with 11 RBI and two stolen bases in seven games played. While Thursday's series finale against Boston was his first time batting leadoff for Baltimore, it's unlikely he'll remain there regularly moving forward with All-Star shortstop
Gunnar Henderson (intercostal) set to make his season debut on Friday in Kansas City.
