FACTS/FLUKES: A. Jones, Vogt, Happ, Hardy, Giles

Jones adds loft...When we last checked in on Adam Jones (OF, BAL) in early May 2016, he was hitting too many ground balls to take advantage of his well established 25+ HR power and we speculated that he may have been playing through some lingering soreness caused by an April rib injury. Any indication that Jones' ribs are still bothering him and what's his outlook going forward?
