Jones was placed on the bereavement list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will miss a minimum of three games, and could be away from the team for up to seven games, while attending a funeral in San Diego. Joey Rickard, Jace Peterson and the recently-activated Craig Gentry (ribs) are options to receive more playing time in his place.

Jones has passed through waivers and is eligible to be traded, Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Jones has indeed cleared waivers, that means that he can be traded to any team, though he still has 10-and-5 rights which allow him to veto any deal. This was apparent during last month's non-waiver deadline, as the Orioles seemingly had something in place with the Phillies before Jones declined to leave Baltimore. Per Heyman, Jones "might be more likely to consider an AL team, where he'd have the chance to DH as well as play the outfield, or perhaps at least a team with a clear need in the outfield."

Jones will serve as the Orioles primary right fielder for the rest of the season, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones hasn't played anything other than center field or designated hitter since way back in 2007, but will make the move to right field with Cedric Mullins -- one of the organization's top prospects -- promoted from Triple-A earlier Friday. Jones' fantasy outlook shouldn't change much, but it certainly represents somewhat of a changing of the guard for the Orioles. Joey Rickard is likely to be the odd man out in the team's outfield rotation.

Jones is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with a double and a homer during the first two games of the set. Joey Rickard will slide over to cover center field in Jones' stead, allowing Jace Peterson to pick up a start in right field.

Jones is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
After considering dealing Jones away prior to Tuesday's non-waiver deadline, the Orioles did an about-face and retained the 32-year-old, who is their longest-tenured player. Jones will likely receive more frequent rest in the second half while the Orioles close out a non-contending season, but it shouldn't dramatically hinder his fantasy outlook.

Jones is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
It will be just the second day off in the month of July for Jones, who will give way to Joey Rickard in center field for the series finale. In Saturday's contest, Jones went 2-for-4 with a double and a RBI.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones pushed his RBI total to 36 on the season after smacking a three-run double in the third inning. Prior to Sunday's matchup, he hadn't recorded an RBI since July 4 against Philadelphia, so his run production at the plate has been down of late. Jones will go into the All-Star break batting .275 with 10 homers and a .723 OPS through 92 games.
