Jones is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has started 18 of 19 games -- including both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader -- since returning from a back injury July 19, slashing .208/.296/.389 with two home runs and one stolen base during that stretch. Victor Reyes is starting in center field and hitting sixth in this one.

Jones went 2-for-5 with a triple and a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old tied the career high in homers he set last year, launching his 11th of the season in the third inning off Lucas Giolito. Jones has struggled at the dish since back spasms cost him about half of July, slashing .206/.296/.397 over his last 16 games with two home runs and three RBI, but he's been making some hard contact lately -- five of his last eight hits have gone for extra bases.

Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will bow out of the lineup for the first time since he returned from a back injury July 19, allowing Harold Castro to pick up a start in center field and atop the lineup. Over his 13 games back from injury, Jones has gone just 8-for-54 (.148 average) with one home run, one stolen base, eight runs and two RBI.

Jones (back) went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 12-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first appearance for the Tigers since landing on the injured list on July 3, Jones led off and looked very comfortable. The 27-year-old had been starting to play pretty well before getting injured, and he'll look to finish the season strong for a rebuilding Detroit squad.

Jones (back) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday and is batting leadoff versus the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had a four-game rehab assignment this week with Triple-A Toledo to clear the way for his return from the IL. The 27-year-old had an .851 OPS in his last 11 games before landing on the IL and will look to pick up where he left off.

Jones (back) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Jones started a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Toledo, and after a few games in the minor leagues, Detroit has given him the green light to return. He's hitting .244 with nine homers and 23 RBI over 60 games this season and will resume his starting role in center field upon his return.

Jones (back) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Toledo.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is already eligible to return from the injured list. His absence has been relatively short, so he should be back in the big leagues after just a few rehab games.

Jones (back) may begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been sidelined for 10 days with back spasms, but it sounds like Jones could return sometime in the next week. Victor Reyes has been getting starts in center field in Jones' absence.

Jones (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list following Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones exited Wednesday's matinee with back spasms and will require at least 10 days to get healthy, though an MRI already came back negative. The 27-year-old will be eligible to be activated July 14 at Kansas City.

Jones (back) is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jones left the afternoon contest with back spasms, so it's no surprise to see him sit for the nightcap. An MRI taken after the game was negative, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports, but he'll get at least the evening to rest. Harold Castro will start in center field.
