Cedric Mullins Hits Injured List, Aaron Hicks Signs
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right-groin strain while outfielder Aaron Hicks has been signed to a major-league contract. Mullins appeared to injure himself while running down the first baseline on Monday and, unsurprisingly, will need time to heal. It's been another big season for the 28-year-old as he's hitting .263 with eight homers, 13 stolen bases, and an .835 OPS across 53 appearances. Hicks, meanwhile, was designated for assignment by the Yankees after limping to a .188 average alongside a homer and a .524 OPS across 76 trips to the plate. It's conceivable the veteran sees a good chunk of playing time while Mullins works his way back from the IL.
