Jones is not in the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

Jones missed six straight contests with a back injury before returning to the lineup Sunday, but it's unclear if the issue may have flared up again Monday. Gerardo Parra will slide over to center field, while Ryan Flaherty will get the start in right in his place.

Jones (back) returned to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, batting cleanup and playing center field.
EDGE Analysis
Back in his usual role, Jones figures to be good to go against Red Sox starter Henry Owens. His return will allow the Orioles to stop pushing out a combination of Gerardo Parra and Nolan Reimold in center field. Incidentally, those two will get the start at the corner outfield positions for Sunday.

EDGE Analysis
While his MRI indicated that his back injury wasn't serious, he's now been out of the lineup five consecutive games and there hasn't been a confirmed date that he will return. Nolan Reimold will hit at the top of the lineup and get the start in center field Friday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis
Fortunately, it seems that Jones' back injury isn't overly serious in nature. While it's unclear when the star center field will rejoin the lineup, it's not something that should impact his long-term availability.

Jones (back) is not in the lineup Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of CSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed Monday's game due to back spasms, and it appears the issue is still bothering the durable center fielder. As was the case Monday, Junior Lake will fill Jones' spot in center. He'll be flanked by Steve Pearce in right and Nolan Reimold in left.
