Manager Buck Showalter said Jones is dealing with sore ribs, but hopes Jones will be able to return to action Friday, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Other reports indicated that Jones is dealing with a sore oblique, but Showalter refused to use that term, and instead Jones was simply dealing with soreness in his ribs, which he first felt during his final at-bat in Wednesday's game. Jones may be able to return to the field after missing just the lone game, but the Orioles' lineup for Friday's game will confirm that one way or another.
