Orioles' Adam Jones: Removed due to cramping Thursday

Manager Buck Showalter said that Jones was removed late in Thursday's game due to cramping, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis:

Pedro Alvarez came on to pinch hit for Jones in the top of the ninth in Thursday's loss to Washington. Showalter said that Jones was merely cramping, so it's unclear whether his status heading into Friday's series opener is actually in doubt. A further update on Jones' status figures to be made available Friday before lineups are released.
