10 Adam Jones, CF

Orioles outfielder Adam Jones is getting the start at designated hitter Tuesday versus the Yankees as he's dealing with some right leg soreness, MLB.com reports. 

Jones stole second base late in Monday's game and came up a bit lame following hitting the bag. He's healthy enough to hit, but the Orioles want him to take a game off his feet. 

Jones, batting .319 on the year, enters Tuesday's game with a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 8 for 23 (.348) with a homer and five RBI. He also has three stolen bases over that stretch. 

Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will DH Tuesday against the Yankees. 

Jones will still hit cleanup for the Orioles. He'll face Phil Hughes. Chris Dickerson will start for Jones in center. Jones is hitting .319/.354/.492 in 185 at-bats. 

Orioles outfielder Adam Jones went 2 for 4 at the plate with two singles on Sunday during a loss to the Rays. Jones also stole two bases in the game. 

The center fielder drove in a run in the fourth inning with an RBI single to left to tie the game at one run apiece. He stole two bases and now has seven on the year. He's batting .322. 

Jones has hit in four straight games and has gone 7 for 18 over that stretch with a homer and five RBI. He's up to six homers and 30 RBI on the year. 

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones hit his sixth home run Saturday against the Rays, driving in three runs while going 2 for 4 with a walk. It was Jones' first three-RBI game since April 6, giving him 29 on the year.

Jones has hit .318/.355/.500 in 186 plate appearances.

Orioles outfielder Adam Jones said he's doing a better job of not chasing pitches outside of the strike zone, per MASNsports.com.

"I'm trying to really stay off the down-and-away pitch," Jones said. "If I could find a way to lay off that pitch more, I'd find myself on first base a lot more often and score more runs. Trying to lay off it, but if I can't, shoot it in that hole (on the right side). Second baseman will probably be playing me up the middle more. I'm just trying to make contact."

Per FanGraphs.com, Jones is swinging at 39.6 percent of pitches outside of the strike zone, which is just above his career mark (39.5 percent) and below his rate the last two seasons (40.4 percent), so the numbers don't back up his claim just yet. But Jones insists he's making an effort to become a better hitter.

"I'm just trying to get on base anyway I can," Jones said. "Take the hits over there if they want to pitch me away. You see what Miguel Cabrera does. He takes what they give him and I'm learning that. Obviously I'm not on the same caliber as he is but my growth can be. I'm still growing as a player."
