BALTIMORE-- The rib cage injury that's bothered Adam Jones kept him out of the starting lineup again for Sunday's series finale with Tampa Bay.
Jones played the first two games of the season but has not played since. Orioles manager Buck Showalter held him out of Saturday's postponed game and again for this contest. The team is taking it easy with its star outfielder early in the campaign.
"Any time you're dealing with that area, it's such an unknown," Showalter said. "It's so tough because you don't want to test it all the time. They don't really think at this point that it is an oblique.
