BOSTON – Adam Jones did some throwing today at Fenway Park. He even grabbed a bat.

But Jones isn’t in the Orioles lineup for tonight’s opener of a three-game series against the Red Sox, and will miss his fourth straight game because of back spasms.

In a tweet, Jones said, “Feeling a lot better. Almost there.”

Nolan Reimold will start in center field.

Second baseman Jonathan Schoop is playing his first game here since injuring his right knee on April 17.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Nationals series marked the first time that the Orioles won consecutive games on the road despite trailing in the seventh inning or later in since May 16-17, 2012 in Kansas City.

The Red Sox announced that former Orioles general manager Frank Wren has been hired as Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations.
