Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was out of starting lineup for a second consecutive game in Sunday’s series finale against the Houston Astros, but manager Buck Showalter said he expected Jones to start when the Orioles open a nine-game homestand Monday afternoon against the New York Yankees.
Jones is still dealing with a nagging sore left ankle and hip he hurt chasing a ball a week and a half ago in Detroit, an injury that has come and gone, and which Showalter believes had begun to affect Jones at the plate.
