Slated for right field versus RHP Jones is expected to see the bulk of his playing time in right field against right-handed pitching, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Guardians acquired Jones via trade Saturday and sent Will Brennan down Monday, effectively replacing the latter with the former as the strong side of a platoon in right field. Jhonkensy Noel is likely to start in right field versus left-handers. Jones exiting Coors Field isn't ideal on the surface, but Progressive Field ranked fourth in baseball for home runs for left-handed batters last season, per Baseball Savant's Park Factors.

Dealt back to Cleveland Jones was traded from the Rockies to the Guardians in exchange for Tyler Freeman on Saturday, SI.com reports.

Impact Jones came up through the Guardians' minor-league system and had a fair amount of expectations as a prospect. He had a breakout 2023 season in Colorado after being dealt by Cleveland, only to fall flat in 2024 due to a number of injuries. Jones will look to bounce back in his reunion with the Guardians and should occupy a large-side platoon in right field.

Scratched Saturday Jones was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Rockies haven't yet given a reason for Jones' removal from the starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity shortly. In the meantime, Benny Montgomery will patrol left field and bat eighth.

Starting to get better results Jones has gone 5-for-16 across his last six Cactus League games.

Impact Jones has started to turn things around after beginning spring training 0-for-13 with four strikeouts. He has still yet to record an extra-base hit, which is a concern after his power evaporated in an injury-plagued 2024 season. Nevertheless, Jones will be a marquee member of the Rockies' lineup and should be an everyday player so long as he can remain healthy.

Knocks in two Jones went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Dodgers.

Impact Jones has had a rough season and there haven't been many signs of him turning things around as he's hitting only .224 with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate in 25 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 20. He did manage to make an impact in Sunday's loss, highlighted by an RBI single in the third inning and he has driven in three across his last five appearances.
