NEW YORK - Adam Jones, who left yesterday's game with a sore right shoulder, is not in tonight's Orioles lineup against the Yankees.

Gerardo Parra will play center field and bat second, with Nolan Reimold leading off and playing left field. Chris Davis moves from first base to right field.

Matt Wieters, who missed three games with a sore left wrist, is back behind the plate.

Manny Machado will play third base with Ryan Flaherty manning first base.
