Jones (shoulder) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Jones left Saturday's game with right shoulder tightness after running into the wall and then making a diving attempt on the very next play. He'll miss at least one start, though a precise timetable is not yet clear. Victor Reyes will start in center field.

Jones exited Saturday's game against the Indians with right shoulder tightness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones ran into the wall in center field and appeared shaken up, but was able to remain in the game. The 26-year-old then made a diving attempt on the next play and got up gingerly, and was then removed from the game. Jones should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Jones is starting in center field and batting seventh in Friday's game against the Indians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones did not start the team's last game Wednesday, as he's been alternating in center field with Victor Reyes. With new arrival Christin Stewart expected to dominate time in left field the rest of the way and Nick Castellanos entrenched in right, Jones and Reyes figure to continue their timeshare.

Jones is out of the lineup versus the Astros on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during Tuesday's defeat. In his place, Victor Reyes will start in center field and bat ninth in the order.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Jones took Houston starter Framber Valdez deep as part of a four-run fourth inning, though the Tigers couldn't muster any more offense in a 5-4 loss. The 26-year-old now has 11 home runs this season, but his .206 average and .636 OPS leave a lot to be desired, and the promotion of Christin Stewart to the big leagues on Sunday figures to crunch Jones for playing time down the stretch.

Jones may lose some playing time following the promotion of Christin Stewart to the big leagues, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Ron Gardenhire announced that Stewart would be the starting left fielder for the remainder of the season, effectively making a timeshare between Jones, Mikie Mahtook and Victor Reyes in center field. Jones is starting Sunday's game in center, but Reyes is younger and has been better at the plate recently. Little is known about how the job will be divvied up down the stretch, but it's hard to see this benefitting Jones too much unless he can outplay his competition right out of the gate.
