NEW YORK -- Currently down Adam Jones, the Orioles selected the contract of outfielder Julio Borbon and optioned Mike Wright to Triple-A Norfolk prior to Saturday's game.
"Borbon is our best option at this point," aid Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who started Borbon in center field on Saturday. "He's got some foot speed and experience in the big leagues, including here this year."
Jones, who left Friday's game in the second inning with a left hamstring strain, said he felt better Saturday and remains optimistic he can avoid the disabled list.
