Losing playing time Jones is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Jones is riding pine for the third time in four games, will each absence coming when the Guardians have opposed a right-handed starting pitcher. With Jones getting on base at a .185 clip and striking out in 44.4 percent of his plate appearances in August, the playoff-hopeful Guardians seem inclined to rotate players at the designated-hitter spot rather than leaning on the slumping rookie as their primary option.

Sitting against right-hander Jones is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even though the Guardians are facing a right-hander (Zac Gallen) on Tuesday, the lefty-hitting Jones will cede his spot in the lineup to the righty-hitting Oscar Gonzalez (intercostal), who will start in right field in his return from the injured list. Cleveland is expected to option designated hitter Franmil Reyes to Triple-A Columbus later Tuesday, so spots in the everyday lineup could still be available for both Jones and Gonzalez moving forward. Jones' move to the bench comes after he went 1-for-10 with five strikeouts over his last three starts.
