Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has been battling an abdominal issue off and on for a little over a week, so manager Ron Gardenhire is likely just giving the center fielder some routine maintenance in the day game after a night game. Harold Castro will replace Jones in the lineup and bat seventh.

Jones went 1-for-3 with a two-run, inside-the-park home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hit a low line drive with two outs in the seventh inning, and when it got past a diving Adam Engel in center, it was off to the races. The Detroit center fielder has gotten off to a great start, as he now has five home runs in just 13 games. His career high is 11 home runs, which is what he hit in each of the last two years. At this rate, Jones could beat that mark with only the 60-game schedule to work with.

Jones (abdomen) is in the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was removed in the third inning of Sunday's contest with an abdominal issue that he's apparently dealt with for a week. However, manager Ron Gardenhire said that Jones came in Monday feeling fine, and he felt comfortable placing him in the lineup for the series opener against the White Sox. The 28-year-old carries a 1.139 OPS with four home runs and 12 RBI over 12 games this season.

Jones (abdomen) will be examined Monday to better determine the nature of his injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones exited in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates with left abdominal tightness. He told manager Ron Gardenhire that he's been dealing with the issue for about a week, and Monday's examination could provide a better idea of how much time he could miss. Jones had gone 2-for-9 with a home run, three RBI and three runs over the two games prior to Sunday's contest.

Jones was removed in the bottom of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates with left abdominal tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Jones may have sustained the injury during his plate appearance in the top half of the frame, when he struck out on five pitches. Harold Castro came on in center field as a replacement for Jones, who is considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the White Sox. Jones is batting .333 with four home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs over 12 games this season.

Jones is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Jones started Game 1 and went 0-for-3 during the seven-inning contest. Victor Reyes will start in center field and bat leadoff for the second game.

Jones went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Batting from the No. 9 spot, Jones has gotten off to a great start to the season, as he now has three home runs, six RBI, six runs scored and a 1.450 OPS through six games. The 28-year-old has shown flashes before at the MLB level but has yet to put it all together. Perhaps the shorter season will benefit Jones and keep him from getting into too many prolonged slumps.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Jones now has two home runs and a 1.143 OPS through four games. The 28-year-old center fielder has been batting ninth so far for the Tigers, though that could change if he keeps up this hot streak. Jones batted ninth 43 times last season but also made 32 starts as the team's leadoff hitter.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in the Tigers' 6-4 win over the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He played the hero, connecting for the go-ahead, two-run home run off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning. Per Jason Beck of MLB.com, manager Ron Gardenhire called for the sacrifice bunt twice in that at-bat, with Jones fouling off both attempts. With two strikes, Jones swung away and decided the contest. Jones has hit ninth in the Tigers' first two games.

Jones (oblique) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Monday's intrasquad game.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has been managing some left oblique tightness for the last few days, but his re-entry into the lineup for the Tigers' 10th and final intrasquad game suggests he'll be ready to go for the team's season opener Friday in Cincinnati. Though Jones is atop the lineup Monday, he could find himself in the bottom third of the order more often than not during the regular season.
