Jones is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will get what appears to be a regular day off after starting the first 11 games of the season for the Diamondbacks, going 17-for-47 (.362) with four homers and six RBI in those contests. Arizona will go with an outfield consisting of David Peralta, Jarrod Dyson and Tim Locastro (from left to right) in this one.

Jones went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Jones slugged a solo blast in the fifth inning and plated a run in the sixth on a double to center field. After sitting on the open market for nearly the entire offseason, the 33-year-old has been scorching hot at the dish to open the 2019 campaign. He's gone 14-for-36 with eight extra-base hits, five RBI and six runs scored through eight games.

Jones is in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, starting in right field and leading off.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Torey Lovullo had indicated that Jones could get a rest Wednesday for the final game of the road trip, but it seems Jones talked his way into the lineup. The 33-year-old is off to an excellent start to the season with 11 hits (including three homers) in his first 29 at-bats. This marks his third consecutive game leading off (all against opposing lefties).

Jones may not be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has started all six games thus far, hitting safely in all six, but it sounds like he will take a seat in the final game of the Diamondbacks' season-opening road trip. The outfielder, who signed late during spring training, is 11-for-29 with three home runs, two doubles and three RBI.

Jones went 2-for-5 with a leadoff solo home run to help the Diamondbacks to a 10-3 romp over the Padres on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran is off to a blistering start with his new team, as he's now slashing .375/.375/.792 with three long balls through 24 at-bats. He'll come down to earth from those lofty numbers as he logs more at-bats, but Jones is at least showing early signs he can still swing that bat at age 33 coming off a down 2018 with Baltimore that saw him miss the 20-homer benchmark for the first time since 2010.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 18-5 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones didn't need many spring at-bats to get ready for the regular season. The outfielder, who signed with the Diamondbacks on March 10, is 5-for-14 with a double and two home runs through three games.

Jones started in right field, batted leadoff, and went 2-for-4 with a home run in Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones went from unemployed two weeks ago to Arizona's everyday right fielder Opening Day. Steven Souza's knee injury created an opportunity for Jones to be more than three-position backup in the outfield. Whether he stays in the leadoff spot remains to be seen, but the Souza injury puts him in position to get 550-600 plate appearances.

Jones is leading off and starting in right field Thursday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
With Steven Souza (knee) done for the year, we knew Jones would see an uptick in playing time and now it is clear he will lead off against southpaws in the early going. If he plays every day and leads off against lefties, he could accumulate enough counting stats to be relevant in most formats.
