Adam Jones has not taken batting practice for most of the last two weeks due to lingering soreness in both wrists. He hasn't missed any games over that stretch, so it doesn't appear to be a big concern, but the Orioles want him to rest his wrists when he can. They also probably won't allow Jones to participate in the Home Run Derby over the All-Star break. "But I need to limit my swings as much as possible, especially over the break. That's important right now," said Jones. "I think they would say, 'What do you want to do? Would you want to do it?' They'll leave it in my hands. But I think the smart and responsible decision is to say no."
