BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones was not in Baltimore's starting lineup Thursday as the center fielder is "a little sore in the rib-cage area," according to manager Buck Showalter, who didn't want to use the word oblique.
Jones apparently first felt the injury on his last at-bat in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Twins. The outfielder was bent over in pain for quite some time after striking out in the eighth inning, but he remained in the game.
