Joey Rickard

Orioles' Joey Rickard heads to the bench Thursday against White Sox

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Rickard went 0-for-4 with a strikeout last night, so he'll get the chance to gather himself today. Craig Gentry is going to be in right for Baltimore, and he will hit seventh in the lineup.

Slashing .286/.355/.536 through 9 games, Rickard is projected for 4 home runs and a .248 average the rest of the season.
