Jones went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has generally batted toward the bottom of Detroit's order this season, but after slashing .412/.459/.824 in his last 10 games coming into Wednesday, the outfielder moved up to the leadoff spot. The Tigers have been searching for offense all season, so Jones could get some more run as the No. 1 hitter if he keeps producing at the plate.

Jones went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had a huge offensive day from the No. 9 spot in the lineup. He hit a three-run blast off Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson in the second inning, then hit a two-run shot off Matt Magill in the eighth inning. Jones is up to eight home runs and 20 RBI this season, and he's bumped his average up to a respectable .250. The 27-year-old has struggled to make consistent contact during his career, but he does offer a decent combination of power and speed, as he also has six stolen bases this season.

Jones went 1-for-2 with a walk and stolen base Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

After a slow start to the campaign, Jones has consistently reached base of late, raising his on-base percentage from .217 to .315 since May 1. He's become a stolen base threat as a result, and he swiped his sixth bag of the season Thursday after working a walk to begin the eighth inning. Jones has quietly offered both power and speed upside, as he also has six home runs on the campaign, five of which have come since May 1.

Jones went 2-for-5 with one RBI, two steals and a walk during a 13-inning loss to the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a pretty disappointing season for Jones, who hasn't seen his average above .200 for about five weeks. He has great speed, but until Saturday, he hasn't really been getting on base enough to take advantage of it. Hopefully he's turning a corner at the plate, though, as he's 4-for-10 with two extra-base hits in the weekend series. Overall, Jones is batting .195 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs and four steals in 118 at-bats this season.

Jones went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 9-8 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

This was the best offensive game of the season for Jones, who recorded just his third multi-hit effort of 2019. The 27-year-old is still slashing just .183/.258/.348, though he can occasionally offer a little bit of power and some steals, as evidenced by his double-digit totals in both categories last year.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jones will sit for the first time since May 4, ending a streak of 16 consecutive starts. At this point, Jones' defense seems to be the only thing keeping his playing time safe; he's slashing just .174/.254/.312 (52 wRC+) across 122 plate appearances on the season.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

It was a boom or bust evening for Jones, who struck out in his other three at-bats. The 27-year-old has four home runs this season but also has a 32.2 percent strikeout rate, and his ongoing struggle with making consistent contact has saddled him with a weak .179 batting average.

Jones went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Former Detroit ace Justin Verlander was dealing, as he allowed just two hits through seven innings of work. One of those hits was Jones' third home run of the season. The 27-year-old still has a sluggish .165 batting average and .549 OPS, though he should still contribute the occasional long ball and steal.

Jones went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored Sunday in the Tigers' 5-3 win over the Twins. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch.

EDGE Analysis

This was one of Jones' most productive showings of the season, which illustrates the lack of fantasy value he's providing as the Tigers' everyday center fielder. Even after reaching base twice Sunday, Jones' OBP sits at an anemic .228 across 92 plate appearances. The Tigers' lack of quality outfield defenders more than anything else is the primary reason Jones continues to receive regular work.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Jones went deep off Los Angeles reliever Cody Allen in the eighth inning for his second home run of the season. The 26-year-old outfielder is still hitting just .162 with a .524 OPS, though he does have a hit in three straight games.
