Per MASN’s Roch Kubatko, the O’s also selected the contract of Stevie Wilkerson and DFA’s righty Josh Lucas.

Mullins hit .094 with the big club this year, including just two hits in his last 39 at-bats. Wilkerson played with the big club last year, hitting .174 (8-for-46) in 16 games.

Baltimore, now 8-15, will begin a three-game series at home against the Chicago White Sox tonight.
