Rickard went 2-for-3 with a two-run triple and a run scored in the 5-4 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old is batting just .222 in 135 at-bats this year and Thursday was his first multi-hit effort of August. Rickard's subpar performance at the plate has lead to inconsistent playing time, leaving him with nearly no fantasy value.

Rickard will start in right field and hit seventh Sunday against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
After driving in eight runs over the last two days, Rickard will pick up his third straight start in the series finale. With Adam Jones and Danny Valencia among the lineup regulars the Orioles are expected to make available prior to Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline, Rickard seems well positioned to enjoy a steady dose of at-bats in the second half.

Rickard is not starting Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how exactly the Orioles' lineup will look like in the post-Manny Machado era. The first such lineup does not include Rickard, with Danny Valencia and Trey Mancini remaining in the outfield corners. Valencia could move in to play third base, opening up a spot for Rickard, but the newly-recalled Renato Nunez will play there Friday.

Rickard was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard will take the place of Colby Rasmus on the active roster after the latter was put on the restricted list prior to Tuesday's game. Over 29 games with Baltimore this year, Rickard hit .203 with a .672 OPS. He will serve as added depth in the Orioles' outfield while with the team.

Rickard was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rickard is no longer needed in the majors with Colby Rasmus back from the disabled list, so he'll head back to the minors for some more consistent playing time. The 27-year-old outfielder hit just .203/.267/.405 across 29 games with the Orioles.

Rickard is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite clubbing a pinch hit home run during Tuesday's loss to the Nationals, Rickard will stick on the bench for a third straight game as the Orioles opt to go with Trey Mancini, Adam Jones and Craig Gentry in their outfield with no DH spot available in the Nationals' NL ballpark.
