Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Cedric Mullins, the veteran outfielder signed by the Tampa Bay Rays to a one-year, $7.5M deal, is showing signs of offensive resurgence after a disappointing 2025 season. After struggling early in 2026, Mullins has recorded a three-game hitting streak and has reached base in four of his last five games.
