Cedric Mullins, Aaron Hicks Expected Back In August
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias is confident that both outfielders Cedric Mullins (groin) and Aaron Hicks (hamstring) will return to play a "large part of August." The team is currently happy with their center field options in the meantime -- Colton Cowser, Ryan McKenna and Austin Hays -- and won't let the situation impact their trade decisions ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. Mullins has been out almost two weeks, but he's making some progress and has resumed running. Hicks landed on the injured list on Tuesday, but he's expected to be ready to return when he's eligible on Aug. 4. Mullins is Baltimore's starting center fielder when healthy, and he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues for the stretch run.
