Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder ignited a four-run sixth inning with a leadoff blast, his 10th of the season, off starter Edwin Rodriguez. Jones has homered in back-to-back contests since returning from a four-game absence due to a small ankle issue. He's now on pace to go deep 30-plus times this season, a feat Jones hasn't accomplished since 2013.

Jones went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, five RBI and two runs against the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After missing four games with an ankle injury, he stepped back into the lineup and didn't miss a beat; in fact, Jones put an end to an 0-for-12 pre-injury slump. The veteran outfielder came at a bargain price in most fantasy leagues this year, and it looks like he'll again offer up approximately 30 homers and 80 RBI to go with a mediocre batting average.

Jones (ankle) will start in center field and bat second Wednesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has missed the Orioles' last four games with the ankle issue, but seemed close to returning in the last two contests, as he was initially listed in the lineup before being scratched. With that in mind, those planning on using Jones in daily contests will likely still want to keep a close watch on the Baltimore lineup for any changes leading up to the 7:05 p.m. EST first pitch. If the Orioles end up erring on the side of caution again and benching Jones, Joey Rickard would likely pick up another start in cetnter field.

Jones (ankle/hip) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as a precautionary measure due to wet field conditions.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately, it doesn't appear that Jones aggravated his injuries. Rather, Baltimore is opting to be careful with the center fielder as Tuesday's game will be played on an unideal field. Jones will look to return for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Jones (ankle/hip) is batting second and starting in center field Tuesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was scratched from Monday's contest after ankle and hip soreness continued to linger, but it seems like the pain has been managed enough to let him re-enter the lineup. He'll resume his normal spot in the order between Seth Smith and Manny Machado.

Jones (hip/ankle) has been scratched from the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had been penciled in to hit second in the order and start in center field, but it seems as if his lingering hip and ankle soreness will prevent him from taking the field for the third straight game. Joey Rickard will move over to take his spot in center field as part of a complete lineup reshuffle.

Jones (ankle, hip) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is on the bench for a second straight game with the sore ankle and hip, but neither issue is viewed as a major concern for the veteran center fielder. According to Kubatko, manager Buck Showalter said that he expects Jones to return to action Monday against the Yankees. Fantasy owners will want to verify as much before locking Jones into their lineups in weekly leagues, but he's looking like a safe option.
