Orioles' Joey Rickard (thumb) still in splint for a month

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard (thumb) will remain in a splint for the next 3-4 weeks.

What It Means:

Rickard saw a hand specialist Wednesday. He tore a ligament in his right thumb after crashing into a wall near the end of July. The Orioles are hopeful that he will be able to play in September.

Rickard owns a .268/.319/.377 slash with a .304 wOBA in 282 plate appearances during his rookie campaign. He has tallied five home runs, 19 RBI's and four stolen bases on the year.
