Sitting versus southpaw
Mullins is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
Analyse
The left-handed-hitting Mullins starts against some lefties, but he'll take a seat Monday as the A's send southpaw Jacob Lopez to the bump. Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field.

Logs steal in Saturday's win
Mullins went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
Analyse
Mullins was also caught stealing once in the contest. The outfielder sat against a right-handed pitcher Friday, though he's done a decent job lately by going 12-for-49 (.245) with three steals and two home runs over his last 15 games. Mullins is still the preferred option for the Rays in center field, but he's prone to giving up some playing time to Jonny DeLuca. Mullins is batting just .206 with a .641 OPS, 18 steals on 26 attempts, 13 homers, 35 RBI, 43 runs scored, eight doubles and two triples over 100 contests this season.

Sitting Friday
Mullins is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analyse
Even though the Mariners are sending right-hander Logan Gilbert to the mound, the lefty-hitting Mullins will open Friday's game on the bench while Jonny DeLuca starts in center field and bats sixth. Mullins has gone 12-for-53 (.226) with three steals (in four attempts), two home runs, five RBI and 10 runs scored since the All-Star break.
