Jones is dealing with a back injury, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is being held out of the starting lineup Monday due to back spasms, but manager Buck Showalter said the outfielder might be available as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. Junior Lake will start in center field in his place.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jones will get a rare off day Monday, though it doesn't appear to be anything more than just a regular maintenance day. Junior Lake will get the start in center field in his place and bat eighth.

Jones smacked a double and home run and drove in four runs in Sunday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With 27 homers and 76 RBI, Jones is roughly in line with his production from the last four seasons, though his activity on the basepaths has slowed in his age-29 campaign. Still, the annual consistency Jones delivers in the hitting categories continues to impress, and he again looks like he could be worthy of a early-round selection heading into 2016.

Jones (shoulder) is back in the lineup Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed both Tuesday and Wednesday's games with a shoulder issue, but after a day off Thursday he's back at his usual center field spot. Jones will bat third against Royals' lefty Danny Duffy.

Jones (shoulder) is out of the lineup again Wednesday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Buck Showalter said he had two lineups prepared for Wednesday -- one with Jones and one without. This suggests Jones is close to returning, and with an off day Thursday he could be back for this weekend's series against the Royals.

Jones (shoulder) is not in Tuesday's lineup, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was lifted from Monday's game in the eighth inning with shoulder soreness. He initially told reporters that he would play Tuesday, but it appears as though that won't be the case. The Orioles haven't said much about the ailment, and at this point it's unclear whether Jones will be available off the bench.

Jones (shoulder, wrist) says he will play tomorrow and will not undergo any tests, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two injuries apparently derailed the 30-year-old on Monday. Jones appeared to injure his right shoulder in an at-bat in the seventh inning and has apparently been fighting through wrist soreness as well according to manager Buck Showalter. Jones clearly believes these injuries are not something more sinister and as such his status should be considered day-to-day.

Jones exited Monday's game in the eighth inning with shoulder soreness, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was seen grimacing after a swinging strikeout to end the seventh inning and was replaced by Gerardo Parra to begin the eighth inning. Add a shoulder injury to a laundry list of injuries suffered by Jones this year. While it doesn't appear to be anything serious, more information should be available after the game.

Jones (neck) is in the lineup Friday, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports. He'll be back in center field and bat third in the order against Cole Hamels and the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones's status for Friday was up in the air after a scary collision with the outfield wall in Kansas City on Thursday, but X-rays and a concussion test returned negative. The Orioles didn't determine whether he'd be able to play until shortly before releasing their lineup Friday, but he will be back in center field and batting in his usual spot in the lineup.

Jones supplied all of the Orioles offense Sunday against the Nationals, finishing 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs. After failing to top five home runs in any one month of the season, Jones has hit four in the last week. The slugger finally appears to be over the shoulder injury that affected him during the first half of the season and should continue to produce at a rate we are accustomed to seeing in the second half.
