The Orioles call up seasonal age 23 Cedric Mullins to play centerfield, moving Adam Jones to right.

And beyond just getting the call-up today, Mullins will bat ninth and play center field tonight in making his major league debut. Adam Jones moves to right field. He hasn’t played in right in a game since 2007.

Mullins said Jones has talked to him both about joining the team and playing in center.

“We have been in contact,” Mullins said. “Him being the team leader, he has been very supportive with me playing center field. We’ve had a lot of contact about it and he has guided me through that process. It’s huge. Coming from Adam, with 10 years under his belt. He’s been a huge veteran and team leader for all these years. Being in contact with him has been amazing.”

Mullins is batting .313/.362/.512 at AA, his power coming from doubles and triples. The ninth slot is a good place for him to start, serving as a secondary lead-off man.

Update: Mullins doubles in his first at bat.
