masn-baseballs-orioles.jpgSARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles manager Buck Showalter wasn’t kidding. He’s taking Adam Jones to Dunedin for today’s game against the Blue Jays.

Jones is starting in center field. Alexi Casilla is the shortstop after being scratched from Friday’s lineup with a hyper-extended left knee, and Rule 5 pick Michael Almanzar moves across the diamond to first base.

The bench includes Jonathan Schoop, Dariel Alvarez, Caleb Joseph, Johnny Monell, Xavier Paul, Julio Borbon, Buck Britton, Cord Phelps and Garabez Rosa.

The bullpen includes Alfredo Aceves, Steve Johnson, Ryan Webb, Kelvin De La Cruz, Fabio Castillo, Jason Gurka and Troy Patton.

Outfielder Francisco Peguero hit off a tee yesterday and said his right wrist feels much better.

I’m staying back at the complex today, but Steve Melewski will provide game updates on MASNsports.com. I’m sure he’s going to love the drive back to Sarasota later today #BeachTraffic
