Jones (hand) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was hit in the hand by a pitch at the start of September and wound up requiring surgery. That will wind up being his final pitch of the season, though he should have plenty of time to be ready for 2021.

Jones had successful surgery on his broken left hand and "probably" won't return this season, according to manager Ron Gardenhire, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He sustained the fractured hand when he was hit by a pitch Sept. 1, and with less than three weeks left in the season, we have probably seen the last of Jones in 2020. Daz Cameron, the team's top center field prospect, was recalled to make his big-league debut Wednesday.

Jones (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones suffered a fractured left hand after being hit by a pitch Tuesday and should miss the remainder of the season as a result. His placement on the injured list clears space on the active roster for Derek Hill, who was recalled in a corresponding move. It's unclear whether Jones will require surgery.

Jones sustained a fractured left hand on a hit by pitch during Tuesday's game at Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
It's a devastating development for Jones and the Tigers, as he was enjoying the best production of his career with an .848 OPS and five homers through 30 games. The 28-year-old's 2019 season ended in a similar fashion, as he suffered a fractured left wrist in early August and missed the rest of the season. It's too early to tell if Jones will require surgery to address the fracture, but he's likely out for the final month of the season regardless.

Jones was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers after being hit by a pitch on the hand/wrist area, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old missed the final eight weeks of 2019 after suffering a fractured left wrist from a hit by pitch, so one can only hope Tuesday's incident yields a different result. Jones is in the midst of the best season of his career with a .268/.333/.515 slash line, five homers and 14 RBI through 30 games.
