Orioles' Joey Rickard: Losing out on starts to Hyun Soo Kim

Rickard is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis:

With Rickard's on-base percentage plummeting in May, the Rule 5 pickup has begun to lose his grip on a regular starting role in the outfield. The hot-hitting Hyun Soo Kim will make his fifth consecutive start Sunday, and Rickard may be forced to settle for a part-time role going forward if Kim continues to excel near the top of the order.
