The calendar's turned to May and today we'll look to the outfield for the next part of our Rest-of-Season rankings update and analysis. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel and Scott Engel want you to crush the competition and know that rankings can't end on draft day. Check out our fantasy baseball rankingsdashboard for the very latest rankings which are continually updated.Outfield is deep enough that these rankings go 155 deep with 14 tiers. Not all these players belong [...]

In every season there are teams who initially appear so bad that we give up all hope of fantasy value. In 2019 one of those teams was the Baltimore Orioles, who had a very different lineup to last year. 2018 saw the Orioles move on from Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop, and Adam Jones followed them out of the door in the offseason.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can. The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when neede[...]

The Baltimore Orioles recalled outfielder Joey Rickard from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday and designated outfielder Craig Gentry for assignment in a corresponding move. Rickard has hit just .227/.288/.420 on the season with seven home runs and 21 RBI in 150 at-bats. He's not much of a fantasy option down the stretch and will be in a platoon role in the outfield, at best.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in order to make room for Adam Jones' return from the bereavement list. Rickard had a solid season up to date for the Orioles, hitting with a .221/.284/.416 slash with 22 R, seven HR, and 21 RBI in 58 games. Rickard should not be owned in any fantasy formats even if he returns to the Orioles lineup, due to his low batting average.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard went 2-for-3 with a single, a triple, and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Rickard now has a .222/.291/.415 slash line with six home runs, 20 RBI, and two steals in 148 plate appearances. He does not hold any value in fantasy leagues at this time.

The Baltimore Orioles have reshuffled their lineup for their interleague matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Catcher Caleb Joseph will sit in favor of Chance Sisco. Outfielders Joey Rickard and Danny Valencia will both sit. Jace Peterson will be at left field, while Mark Trumbo covers right field. Trey Mancini will be at first base. Chris David will serve as designated hitter. The Orioles have been terrible this season, with only Manny Machado providing any real superstar powe[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard is starting in right field and batting eighth against righty Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Danny Valencia will get the night off with Rickard jumping into the starting lineup. Rickard went 3-for-6 in the doubleheader on Monday, but is not an option in fantasy leagues or DFS for Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus (hip) has been reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, the team optioned outfielder Joey Rickard down to Triple-A Norfolk. They also transferred left-handed pitcher Richard Bleier (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Rasmus should be avoided in most leagues for the time being. During his brief time with the Orioles this season, Rasmus struck out 13 times in 21 at-bats and totaled a frightening .095 batting average. Leave hi[...]
