Jones left the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox with back spasms, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Niko Goodrum moved out to center field after Jones' departure, with Gordon Beckham entering the game at second base. Jones figures to be held out of the nightcap at the very least. He has been one of the Tigers' few bright spots, offensively (.291/.351/.547 in June), and should continue to lead off when healthy.

Jones (foot) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, leading off and playing center field.
EDGE Analysis
A foul ball off the foot Thursday resulted in soreness and an absence from Friday's lineup, but Jones pinch hit in Friday's game and is now ready to return to his usual spot atop the batting order. Jones has quietly put together a respectable first half of the season, but he's still striking out close to 30 percent of the time and it's been three weeks since he even attempted a stolen base.

Jones fouled a ball off his foot in Thursday's game, and will not start Friday as a result, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' injury does not seem serious, as the report notes he should be available to pinch hit Friday if needed, but he will be held out of the lineup for at least one day to rest and recover. Victor Reyes will get the start in center field in Jones' place.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones continues to excel as Detroit's leadoff hitter, as he's now gone 2-for-4 in each of the team's last four games. For the season, the 27-year-old outfielder is batting .257 with a .791 OPS, and he's strengthening his hold on the top spot in the order with each good performance.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Jones started the game with a leadoff home run, his ninth of the season and fourth this month in 19 contests. June has been kind to the 27-year-old outfielder, as he's batting .318 with 11 runs scored, and he's cemented his spot atop Detroit's order.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been having a nice month of June with 17 hits in 58 at-bats (.293 average) to go along with three home runs and 10 runs scored. His hot stretch has pushed him up to the leadoff spot in Detroit's lineup recently, and with the Tigers thin on offensive weapons, Jones figures to stick there if he can remain decently productive.

Jones is starting in center field and batting first in Sunday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Jones got Saturday off, though he did have an unsuccessful pinch-hitting appearance. The 27-year-old outfielder will slot back in as the leadoff hitter, which has become his standard spot lately. Jones has earned the chance with a .341/.413/.634 slash line this month.
