Rickard hit his first home run as a Giant off starter Drew Smyly in the third inning. He then walked and scored again in the sixth.

EDGE Analysis

Steven Duggar (shoulder) was placed on the injured list to make room for Rickard's arrival.

EDGE Analysis

Rickard has been an adequate fifth outfielder but little more than that over parts of four seasons in Baltimore, hitting .245/.299/.372 in 317 games. The 28-year-old will wait in the minors for his next shot at the big leagues and shouldn't be counted on to produce much of note if and when he does arrive, with the difference in home park between Baltimore and San Francisco likely to take a further bite out of his already unimpressive numbers.

Rickard was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rickard struggled during his time with the Orioles this season, slashing .203/.304/.347 through 42 games. He didn't do much better after being sent to the minors in May, slashing .203/.338/.469 with four homers and an 11:0 BB:K across 17 games with Triple-A Norfolk before being dropped from the Orioles' 40-man roster. Sean Gilmartin had his contract purchased from Norfolk in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

Rickard's second homer of the season came during the fourth inning to cap off Baltimore's scoring for the evening. The 27-year-old has been quite streaky to begin the season and is slashing .214/.286/.386 with 21 strikeouts through 70 at-bats.

Rickard isn't in the lineup Saturday for the first game of the Orioles' doubleheader with the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rickard sits after starting each of the Orioles' past three games, but there's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup for the nightcap of the twin bill. Baltimore will go with an outfield of Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins and Dwight Smith for the front end of the doubleheader.
