BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones is expected to leave the team later this week for a death in the family, and the Orioles outfielder will be placed on the bereavement list. Per MLB's rules, the bereavement list gives teams the option of adding an additional player for the three-day absence.
Jones, in the starting lineup on Tuesday, is expected to play in Tuesday and Wednesday's home games against the Mets, but he will not travel to Cleveland this weekend with the team.
Notes
As expected, Mark Trumbo received an injection in his right knee during Monday's off-day and was back in Tuesday's lineup. The team is trying to manage the issue and avoid putting the designated hitter on the disabled list.
