Joey Rickard on All-Star ballot
By Roch Kubatko
Orioles rookie Joey Rickard is listed on the ballot for the 2016 All-Star Game, to be played July 12 in San Diego.
Rickard, Adam Jones and Mark Trumbo are included among the American League outfielders.
Rickard, the Rule 5 pick from the Rays, leads major league rookies with 22 hits heading into today's games.
The Orioles also are represented by first baseman Chris Davis, second baseman Jonathan Schoop, shortstop J.J. Hardy, third baseman Manny Machado, catcher Matt Wieters and designated hitter Pedro Alvarez.
Machado begins today leading the American League with a .397 average and 27 hits, 14 extra-base hits and a .779 slugging percentage.
Voting begins today and ends June 30.
For fans wondering why Hardy is out of today's lineup, manager Buck Showalter told reporters in Kansas City that it's just a standard day off.
Showalter also confirmed that Tyler Wilson will start Thursday night against the White Sox at Camden Yards.
