Orioles Sign Aaron Hicks After Placing Cedric Mullins On IL

Cedric Mullins, the Orioles' center fielder, left Monday's game with a right groin strain and was placed on the injured list.
The Orioles announced they signed former Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks to fill Mullins' roster spot.
Hicks was released by the Yankees last week and will make the major league minimum with Baltimore.
Mullins has been a pivotal part of the Orioles' success this season, while Hicks struggled in New York and provides outfield depth.
The Orioles have options to fill in for Mullins but signing Hicks shows their commitment to winning.
