For the second straight game, center fielder Adam Jones was scratched from the Orioles starting lineup within 90 minutes of first pitch Tuesday night.
The team announced that Jones was kept out of the lineup “as a precaution due to wet field conditions.”
Both teams took batting practice on the field as scheduled through a light mist, and showers were anticipated after first pitch.
Tuesday marked the fourth straight game Jones has missed. He missed the first three with a sore left ankle and hip.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter initially had Jones in the starting lineup, in center field and batting second, and said Jones successfully went through a series of drilled to test the injury before batting practice.
