Impact Jones, 27, has slashed just .198/.257/.278 over parts of four seasons at the big-league level. He does have a career .821 OPS at the Triple-A level and offers defensive versatility with the ability to play second base, third base and all three outfield spots.

Outrighted to Triple-A Jones cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by New York on Monday but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Jones spent the first four months of the season on the Yankees' active roster, but he totaled just 47 plate appearances in 33 games and had a .685 OPS and 34 percent strikeout rate.

Removed from 40-man roster The Yankees designated Jones for assignment Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones is the roster casualty upon Giancarlo Stanton's (hamstring) return from the injured list. The 26-year-old has collected just a .685 OPS across 47 plate appearances with the Yankees this season.

Leading off Tuesday Jones will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

Impact It's just the 10th start all season for Jones and the first time he's batted higher than fifth. Left-hander Jose Quintana is starting for the Mets and Jones is 7-for-20 against southpaws this season.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Records three hits in another start Jones went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Friday's 16-5 victory versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Jones was plugged into the No. 9 spot in the order while serving as the team's designated hitter in his third start over New York's past four games. The 26-year-old responded with his first multi-hit game of the campaign -- in fact, his three knocks Friday equaled the amount of hits he had collected over his previous 18 plate appearances coming into the contest. Jones has been used mostly as a pinch runner and defensive replacement this season, though he could continue to see more opportunities in the short term while Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Claimed by Yankees The Yankees claimed Jones off waivers from the Brewers on Wednesday.

Impact The Yanks deem Jones a better fit for their roster than Jordan Groshans, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Jones has a career .460 OPS in 90 plate appearances across parts of three major-league seasons.

Optioned to Nashville The Brewers optioned Jones to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact With the acquisition of Carlos Santana from Pittsburgh, Jones will be forced off the Brewers' active roster to clear a spot for Santana. After a hot start to his career as a Brewer, Jones cooled off significantly and is just 2-for-10 at the plate this season.

Getting start at DH Jones is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Monday's contest versus the Reds.

Impact The right-handed hitting Jones is getting the call at DH over the left-handed hitting Jesse Winker against Reds righty Graham Ashcraft, who has fared better versus lefties this season. It's only Jones' second start in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins big-league team The Brewers recalled Jones from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact After being sent down earlier in the week, Jones will return with Brian Anderson (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. While Jones put together a respectable .292/.427/.542 line in 62 games with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season, he's not starting Sunday and the Brewers don't seemed inclined to give him a serious look as a regular.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A Jones was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Jones fared well during his week with the big club, but he wasn't playing much and will now return to the minors. The Brewers will announce a corresponding move prior to the start of the second half.

JULY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Catches on with Milwaukee Jones signed a major-league contract with the Brewers and was added to the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Before he opted out of his minor-league deal with the Dodgers over the weekend, the 25-year-old infielder has spent the entirety of the 2023 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and put together a .292/.427/.542 slash line over 263 plate appearances. Jones will now get the opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Brewers, who are in need of added infield depth in the short term after Brian Anderson was placed on the paternity list Monday. Jones could end up serving as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the big club.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opts out of deal Jones opted out of his contract and was released by the Dodgers on Saturday, Alex Freedman of the Oklahoma City Dodgers reports.

Impact Jones has been solid in Triple-A this season, slashing .292/.427/.542 with nine homers and 34 RBI through 263 plate appearances. He should have no problem finding another organization willing to take him in and could even reach the majors if his performance holds up.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Catches on with Dodgers Jones (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on July 23 and was placed on the full-season minor-league injured list.

Impact Jones was released by the Orioles in early June, a few days after he underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery. By signing with the Dodgers, Jones will have the ability to conduct his rehab process in a team structure, and depending on how quickly he's able to start throwing again, he could be back to full health for spring training. Jones, 25, appeared in 29 games in the majors between stops with the Angels and Orioles in 2020 and 2021 and slashed .212/.339/.343 in 118 plate appearances at Triple-A Norfolk this season before being cut loose by Baltimore.

Clears release waivers Jones (elbow) cleared unconditional release waivers and became a free agent Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Jones underwent Tommy John surgery last week and will now hit free agency after being released by Baltimore. Since the 24-year-old was designated for assignment while hurt, the Orioles were forced to place him on release waivers after he went unclaimed on waivers. However, Jones will have the option to re-sign with the Orioles now that he's officially a free agent.
