Baltimore Orioles’ center fielder Cedric Mullins left yesterday’s 7-2 loss to Minnesota in the last of the first inning. He advanced to second base on an Adley Rutschman groundout, gestured towards his right hamstring, and left the game. He was greeted in the dugout by trainers. Manager Brandon Hyde on Mullins:
I don’t think any of us are alarmed by it. I think it’s just one of those day-to-day things right now.

Just for the record, Mullins injured his groin at the end of May against Cleveland last year. He missed about a month’s worth of games, and the Orioles found a way to make due. Point being, if you think this hampers the O’s if Mullins has to miss time in the regular season, keep in mind that they have a next man up mentality.
