Brad Hawpe replaced Garrett Jones, batting cleanup and playing first base.

Update 10:32 a.m.: A source said Jones was not scratched due to a trade. He's in the clubhouse now while the team takes batting practice, so he could be receiving treatment for an injury.

Update 12:19 p.m.: Jones has some soreness in his left side, general manager Neal Huntington said.
