Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is out of the starting lineup Sunday after being hit with a pitch in the right wrist area on Saturday, necessitating a precautionary MRI despite the fact that he remained in the game for another at-bat.
While Jones has started every game this season, he’s gotten three starts as the designated hitter before off-days to rest his legs a bit from the grind of center field. Sunday could be a planned day off for him, though playing without their star center fielder while trying to avoid a sweep a day after they were shut out would be an interesting strategic play.
