Nolan Jones - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Early exit deemed precautionary Jones exited Sunday's game against the Athletics as a precautionary measure after he cramped up during an at-bat in the eighth inning, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Jones was visited by a trainer in the bottom of the eighth inning before being replaced defensively in the top of the ninth, but his injury doesn't seem to be particularly serious. The 25-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Exits with trainer Jones was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics in the ninth inning due to an apparent injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Jones appeared to land awkwardly on first base while running out a grounder earlier in Sunday's matchup, and he was visited by a trainer at the end of the eighth inning before being replaced defensively to begin the ninth. He went 2-for-4 before leaving the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener against the Padres.

On bench Friday Jones is not in the lineup Friday against the Athletics.

Impact Jurickson Profar, Brenton Doyle and Randal Grichuk will start across the outfield. Jones is 0-for-7 with one walk and two strikeouts over his last two games but boasts an .842 OPS in 175 total major-league plate appearances this year.

Power ticking back up Jones went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday against the Nationals.

Impact Jones entered the All-Star break with only one home run across his previous 22 games, however, he's cleared the fences four times in eight games since. Two of those have come away from Coors Field, including his two-run shot Monday. Despite the hot stretch, Jones is still striking out at a 44.8 percent clip in the same eight-game span. As a result, he'll likely remain a particularly streaky hitter across the final two months of the campaign.

On bench for series finale Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Jones will take a seat for the series finale after starting in four of the Rockies' previous five games while going 3-for-15 with two home runs and three RBI. With Jones on the bench, the Rockies will roll out an outfield of Jurickson Profar, Brenton Doyle and Kris Bryant from left to right.

Provides game-tying homer Jones went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Impact Jones has homered twice over three games since the All-Star break, and Sunday's 11th inning blast tied the contest at 7-7. The 25-year-old has also struck out in his last 11 games, racking up 14 of them in that span. He's at seven homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .288/.369/.508 slash line through 40 contests. Jones has received more playing time in left field of late, which could ultimately land him on the strong side of a platoon with switch-hitting Jurickson Profar.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers off bench Jones went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Yankees.

Impact Jones didn't start the game but entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning for Randal Grichuk. Jones then tacked on the Rockies' last run with an eighth-inning blast. The 25-year-old doesn't have one path to everyday at-bats, but he should be able to spell C.J. Cron and Kris Bryant on occasion while also pushing Jurickson Profar in left field for playing time, especially against right-handed pitchers. Jones owns a .293/.379/.504 slash line with six homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and five stolen bases over 140 plate appearances and could stick in the lineup at least until Charlie Blackmon (hand) returns from the injured list.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action in Houston Jones will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Jones sat out a pair of games to close out the Rockies' weekend series with the Tigers, but Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post relays that the 24-year-old was away from the team because he had been serving as the best man in his brother's wedding back on the East Coast. Following the excused absence, Jones rejoined the Rockies in Houston and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-1 loss. Jones will stick in the lineup again Wednesday and appears to be locked into a full-time role at the moment, even with the recent return of Kris Bryant from the injured list. Instead of Jones, rookie outfielder Brenton Doyle -- who is on the bench Wednesday for the second game in a row -- appears to be the odd man out of the Rockies' regular lineup.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting in second straight Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact For the second straight day, the lefty-hitting Jones will find himself on the bench against a right-hander, this time sitting versus the Tigers' Matt Manning. The recent returns of Kris Bryant and C.J. Cron from the injured list appear to have blocked off Jones' path to steady at-bats in the corner outfield or at first base, making it tough to justify holding the 25-year-old in most shallower leagues. Jones has certainly done his part to justify regular playing time, having produced a .315/.398/.528 slash line with five stolen bases through 123 plate appearances in the majors this season.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus lefty Jones isn't in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Left-hander Clayton Kershaw will start on the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday, so the lefty-hitting Jones will get a breather and sit out the beginning of the game. Randal Grichuk will take over for Jones in right field and bat sixth.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly hits for cycle Jones went 4-for-4 with a solo homer, two doubles, a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

Impact Jones had a perfect night at the plate and was robbed a triple short of the cycle after Jake Fraley made an excellent play off the wall to hold him to just two bases in the ninth. The 25-year-old already has five home runs, five stolen bases and has eight multi-hit efforts in just 24 games since being called up May 26. The Rockies seem to have made a splash with Jones after acquiring him in an offseason trade with the Guardians and he appears to have solidified an everyday role with the club. He's now slashing .354/.436/.634 with 13 extra-base hits, 14 RBI, 12 runs and an 11:30 BB:K over 94 plate appearances.

Comes up clutch Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

Impact Jones' walk-off blast came after a rain delay following Ryan McMahon's game-tying home run in the ninth inning. Jones has homered three times in his last five games and now has four long balls through 15 contests this season. He's slashing .360/.407/.680 with 12 RBI, seven runs scored and four stolen bases through 54 plate appearances. His productivity has helped him step into an everyday role of late between first base and the corner outfield.

Belts third homer Jones went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

Impact He got the Rockies on the board in the second inning by taking Ryan Weathers deep. Jones has been impressive since joining the big-league roster in late May, batting .304 (14-for-46) over 14 games with three homers and 11 RBI as he splits his time between right field and first base.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records fourth steal Jones went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Padres.

Impact This is just the fourth time in 13 games that Jones has been held without a hit, but he still managed to get on base twice. He also logged a steal for the fourth game in a row. The 25-year-old has fit in wonderfully with the Rockies, hitting .349 with two home runs, four steals, 10 RBI and four runs scored over 47 plate appearances.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three more hits Thursday Jones went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a steal in Thursday's 6-4 loss against San Francisco.

Impact Jones now has four multi-hit games in his last six contests, going 10-for-23 (.435) in that span. He's also logged a steal in three straight games. Since he was recalled from Triple-A on May 26, the 25-year-old Jones has slashed .366/.395/.610 with two home runs, 10 RBI and three runs scored across 43 plate appearances. With C.J. Cron (back) seemingly a ways away from returning, Jones should continue to see regular playing time at first base in Colorado.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in loss Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

Impact Jones provided the Rockies' last run of the game with a sixth-inning solo shot. This was his fourth multi-hit effort in 11 major-league contests this season, and it was also his second game in a row with a steal. The 25-year-old is up to a .316/.333/.553 slash line with two homers, eight RBI and three runs scored through 39 plate appearances. Between first base and the corner outfield, Jones is quickly establishing himself in the Rockies' lineup.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records first steal Jones went 0-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Giants.

Impact Jones got aboard on a fielder's choice and stole second in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old was held hitless for just the third time in his 10 games this season, and he struck out twice for the fourth game in a row, but he's still making a positive impact. He's batting .294 with a home run, seven RBI, two runs scored and three doubles through 35 plate appearances Jones continues to fill in at first base while C.J. Cron (back) remains sidelined. Cron won't be back for multiple weeks, so Jones has a chance to run with a starting role between first and the corner outfield positions.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Jones isn't starting Saturday against the Royals.

Impact Jones has started seven of eight games since being recalled from Triple-A and holds an .872 OPS over 27 plate appearances. He'll get a breather Saturday as Elehuris Montero picks up a start at first base while batting sixth.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking in lineup Jones went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Royals.

Impact Jones was in the lineup for the seventh time in the last eight games, and he's started at first base on five occasions. He delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning to extend his hitting streak to four games, during which he's tallied a home run, two doubles and four RBI. With both C.J. Cron (back) and Kris Bryant (heel) sidelined, Jones should have multiple paths to playing time in the short term.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another start Thursday Jones is starting in right field and batting seventh Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 25-year-old should have an even more secure role on the Rockies' depth chart with Kris Bryant (heel) now on the injured list. Jones has posted an .871 OPS in 19 plate appearances since getting called up May 26 from Triple-A Albuquerque, where he was sporting an absurd .356/.481/.711 slash line with 12 homers, 42 RBI, five steals and 38 runs scored in 39 games.
