NEW YORK -- Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was not in Tuesday's starting lineup, though catcher Matt Wieters (wrist) and shortstop J.J. Hardy -- reinstated from the disabled list -- both returned for the middle game of the series at Yankee Stadium.
Jones, who left Monday's game early with right shoulder soreness, said he was surprised he wasn't in Tuesday's lineup, though he uncharacteristically has not put up much resistance for manager Buck Showalter.
"Everyone has got something, but he's been battling that [shoulder issue] for a while," Showalter said. "I didn't really ask him today, he's one of those guys you don't ask.
