Rickard will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rickard is making his fourth straight start and third in a row against right-handed pitcher, indicating he's surpassed Hyun Soo Kim on the depth chart as the Orioles' preferred option in left field. With three-hit performances in three of his last five starts, Rickard should continue to see regular at-bats until his bat cools down.
