The Orioles hopeful center fielder of the future may be just days away from arriving in Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun’s Eduardo Encina reported on Tuesday night that the O’s are expected to select the contract of outfield prospect Cedric Mullins before the end of the week. That would coincide with the O’s returning to Baltimore to begin a homestand.
Mullins was even scratched from Tuesday’s lineup in Norfolk, although The Virginian-Pilot’s David Hall reported that was due to Mullins being ill, not due to an imminent call-up. Hopefully he can rally back to good health by Friday.
