Rickard is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles will deploy an outfield of Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins and Dwight Smith in the Patriots' Day game, relegating Rickard to the bench for the second time in the series. Rickard has recorded just two hits in 22 at-bats over his last nine appearances and could see his opportunities dwindle if the Orioles are comfortable using Mancini in the outfield on a semi-regular basis.

Rickard is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard has something between a part-time role and a true starting role this season. He's gotten the nod against each lefty but has started just four of nine games against righties. Trey Mancini starts in right field.

Rickard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard had started each of the first three games of the series, recording two hits in 12 at-bats over that span. With the Orioles inserting Chris Davis back in the lineup at first base following back-to-back days off, Trey Mancini will shift over to the outfield to replace Rickard.

Rickard is not in the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Rickard will start in right field and will bat fifth Saturday in the Orioles' game against the Yankees, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard will check into the lineup for the second straight game to begin the season, this time facing off against Yankees lefty James Paxton after matching up with right-hander Masahiro Tanaka in Thursday's opener. The outfielder's inclusion in the starting nine versus both a righty and lefty suggests that he may have a line on a full-time role, at least for the time being. That boosts Rickard's outlook in AL-only formats, but his statistical profile isn't interesting enough to make him worthy of a look in most mixed leagues.

Rickard is expected to open the season as the Orioles' starting right fielder, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard has slashed a credible .263/.314/.475 (113 wRC+) versus lefties during his career, but his shortcomings against same-handed pitching make him a poor fit for anything more than a short-side platoon role. Though the 27-year-old will be in line for steady at-bats to begin the season, he'll likely transition to a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role at some point later in 2019 once the Orioles feel Austin Hays is ready for a callup to the majors.

Rickard went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI against the Twins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis

Rickard went 2-for-3 with a triple, an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Thursday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard showed off his modest wheels in this one, legging out a triple in his first at-bat before adding a single and stolen base -- his first of spring -- later in the game. The 27-year-old is now 4-for-8 with a pair of extra-base hits this spring.
