Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the New York Yankees.
Following three starts in a row against southpaws, Rickard takes a seat against righty Sonny Gray. Seth Smith will bat eighth in his place.
For the rest of the reason, numberFire projects Rickard to hit .244 with 5 runs, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, and 1 stolen base over 44 plate appearances.
