Cedric Mullins

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) has resumed baseball activities at the team's complex in Sarasota, Florida. The 28-year-old hit the injured list back in late May with a groin strain and currently has no timetable for his return.

It's nice to hear that he's resumed baseball activities but fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him anytime soon. Aaron Hicks will continue to man center field for the Orioles and the team should provide another update on Mullins next week.

Aaron Judge

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) has had the swelling decrease in his sprained right big toe and has opted against using a walking boot. The team updated reporters earlier this week on the 31-year-old slugger's status.

While he still has no timetable for his return, it's encouraging to hear that the swelling has gone down and a walking boot isn't necessary. He will be out at least until June 14, which would mark the end of his minimum IL stay, but there's a chance it could be a little longer if he has a setback. The Yankees should provide another update at the end of the weekend.

Jorge Polanco

The Minnesota Twins placed second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a left hamstring strain. Polanco tweaked his hamstring on Thursday and will head back to the injured list after recently returning from it for the same injury. It's a disappointing development for the 29-year-old middle infielder, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues should keep him stashed and hope for a quick return.

The switch-hitting Dominican has played in only 30 games so far this year, hitting .250 (30-for-120) with nine doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI, and 11 runs scored. Infield prospect Edouard Julien was called up and was starting at second base and batting leadoff on Saturday against the Blue Jays and right-hander Trevor Richards. Julien should at least see playing time at the keystone against righties with Polanco out.

Jake Fraley

The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder Jake Fraley (wrist) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 8) with a right wrist contusion on Saturday and reinstated outfielder TJ Friedl (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The team also recalled right-hander Kevin Herget from Triple-A Louisville and optioned right-hander Joel Kuhnel to Louisville.

Fraley will leave behind a .262/.350/.430 slash line with seven homers, 38 RBI, and a career-high 11 stolen bases in 55 games. Even with Friedl returning, there should be some more playing time for Will Benson and Stuart Fairchild with Fraley out. Friedl should return to a regular role after hitting a strong .326 (46-for-141) with three homers, 20 RBI, and six steals before his injury.

Ryan Mountcastle

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) was not in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 26-year-old will miss his second straight game with an illness as Ryan O'Hearn takes over at first base against Kansas City. It's been a struggle at the dish over the last three weeks for Mountcastle, who hasn't recorded a multi-hit game since May 16.
