Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was let go by the White Sox on May 10 after slashing .145/.254/.258 across 71 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. Now part of the Astros organization, the 27-year-old switch-hitter will fill in as outfield depth for Triple-A Sugar Land, and he's unlikely to get another look in the majors as long as he continues hitting the way he has been.

Jones was released by the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones spent most of the season with Triple-A Charlotte but was hitting just .145/.254/.258 across 71 plate appearances. He's been a mediocre hitter throughout his minor-league career, so it's unclear how much opportunity he will get moving forward.

The White Sox optioned Jones to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has had two brief stints in the majors this season and hasn't made any starts. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Andrew Benintendi (adductor) from the injured list.

The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was sent down to the minors Friday in order to make room for Chase Meidroth, but he'll now return to the White Sox to make up for the loss of Austin Slater (knee). Jones has slashed .129/.270/.258 with five RBI and four stolen bases across nine Triple-A games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Jones spent just two days in the majors following his Wednesday promotion. The outfielder didn't appear in a game for the White Sox during his short stay with the big club. In a corresponding move, the White Sox selected the contract of infielder Chase Meidroth.

The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was claimed off waivers just before Opening Day and is now up in the majors despite hitting just .138/.286/.276 with a 40 percent strikeout rate at Charlotte. He could see some action in left field while Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list.

The White Sox claimed Jones off waivers from the Rockies on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will join the third organization of his career after he was initially drafted by the Rays in 2019 before being dealt to the Rockies last March. He appeared in six games in the majors with Colorado in 2024 but otherwise spent the entire season at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he produced a .269/.346/.460 batting line to go with 16 home runs and 46 stolen bases over 406 plate appearances. Though he'll report to the minors to begin the upcoming season, Jones should be in the mix for playing time in Chicago at some point in 2025, given the lack of established talent on the big-league roster.

The Rockies optioned Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was in the mix for a spot on the Opening Day roster as a utility player, but after striking out eight times in his first nine Cactus League at-bats, his chances of breaking camp with the big club disappeared. The 27-year-old switch hitter received a cup of coffee with the Rockies last June, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk over six games before finishing the season at Albuquerque.

EDGE Analysis

Jones didn't play much during his nearly two-week stint in the majors, receiving just one start and six plate appearances. He's replaced on the roster by Sean Bouchard (ankle), who was reinstated from the injured list.

Jones went 1-for-1 with a solo home run Monday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was promoted to the majors June 6 and has made just one start since. However, he entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and tallied his first big-league hit with a solo home run. Jones will almost certainly remain a bench bat moving forward.
