The Orioles announced on Saturday that they've recalled outfielder Joey Rickard from Triple-A Norfolk, and he will bat sixth and play right field on Saturday against the Tigers. In a corresponding move, left-hander Tanner Scott was optioned to Norfolk.
Rickard has been on a tear this year for the Tides, hitting .345/.456/.473 with five doubles and a two-run triple on Friday in what has perhaps been the best start of his career. The 2015 Rule 5 Draft pick will get his first crack at the Majors in '18 after hitting .241 over 111 games last year.
