WASHINGTON -- While the rest of the Orioles were in Washington for the series finale against the Nationals, Adam Jones spent part of Thursday in Baltimore getting an MRI on his back.
Jones didn't play in the first two games of the series after suffering back spams, and he was left out of Monday's lineup in the game that got washed out.
Manager Buck Showalter expected Jones to return to Nationals Park before the start of Thursday's game.
"Hopefully, [Jones will] be available in some capacity," Showalter said. "Just decided to make sure that structurally everything is OK.
