Rickard is out of the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard was added to the lineup after Breyvic Valera (undisclosed) was scratched, though now it's the outfielder who has been removed from the lineup. It's unclear what forced Rickard from the lineup at this point, but Trey Mancini has shifted to the outfield and Chris Davis has entered the game at first base to accommodate.

Rickard is starting in right field and hitting seventh Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard was originally scheduled to get the day off before Breyvic Valera (undisclosed) was scratched. The outfielder, who is hitting .238/.297/.409 with eight homers this season, will face southpaw Ryan Borucki in Monday's series opener.

Rickard is not in the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard will take a seat for the third time in the last four games as John Andreoli picks up a start in left field in his place. With the Orioles out of contention, the outfielder could see fewer starts down the stretch as Baltimore looks to give youngster DJ Stewart opportunities.

Rickard went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 14-2 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning shot off Blake Snell came when Baltimore was already down 7-0, but at least he spoiled the shutout bid. Rickard's got a modest seven-game hitting streak going, but his .238/.296/.424 slash line on the season and eight homers in 65 games have relegated his utility to AL-only formats.

Rickard was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard is back with the big-league club after being sent down to Norfolk two weeks ago. Don't expect Rickard to see much playing time over the final month of the season, especially since the Orioles will be interested to see what some of their younger players can do in the majors. That said, Rickard is in Friday's lineup versus the Royals, manning left field and batting eighth.

Rickard was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
This frees up a roster spot for Adam Jones (personal), who is expected to return from the bereavement list Monday. The 27-year-old outfielder, who hit just .227 through 59 games with the Orioles, found himself on the outside looking in following the emergence of Cedric Mullins. He'll head back to the minors for more consistent playing time.

Rickard is likely to see diminished playing time with the promotion of Cedric Mullins, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mullins -- one of the organizations top prospects -- was promoted from Triple-A Friday and will serve as the Orioles' primary center fielder, shifting Adam Jones to right field and squeezing Rickard out of his primary position. The 27-year-old has also started in center and left field this season, but opportunities should be significantly scarcer with Mullins and Jones locked into everyday roles.
