Jones went 1-for-3 with a double and a run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Jones doubled for the second straight game, but it's mostly been a struggle this season for the 26-year-old, as he's batting just .156 with a .479 OPS. He'll likely continue to occupy a spot near the bottom of the Tigers' lineup when he plays, and he hasn't shown nearly enough to be on the fantasy radar in most formats.

Jones is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is hitting .138 with a 34.9 percent strikeout rate through 17 games. Harold Castro will start in center field, hitting ninth.

Jones will make his eighth straight start in center field in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. He's slated to hit ninth.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers haven't eased Jones back into action since he was activated from the 10-day injured list April 11, as he's been included in the lineup in every game. As the best defensive center fielder on the roster, Jones' role should be fairly secure until the Tigers decide to promote prospect Daz Cameron from Triple-A Toledo, but don't expect much useful fantasy production from the 26-year-old. He's batting .174 through his first 26 plate appearances of the season with one steal and no extra-base hits.

The Tigers activated Jones (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had been expected to remain at Triple-A Toledo through the weekend for a rehab assignment, but the Tigers ultimately reversed course and returned the outfielder to the active roster. It's unclear if Jones will be included in the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus the Indians, but he should take over as the Tigers' primary center fielder moving forward. Mikie Mahtook was designated for assignment to open up a spot for Jones.

Jones (shoulder) is headed to Triple-A Toledo to continue his rehab assignment, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is expected to continue his rehab through at least the weekend. The 26-year-old has gone 4-for-19 with two doubles so far through his rehab starts in High-A Lakeland, but manager Ron Gardenhire suggested that he wanted Jones to have a few more minor-league at-bats before returning to the Tigers. Expect Jones to find plenty of playing time when he rejoins Detroit.

Jones (shoulder) could soon shift his rehab to Triple-A Toledo but isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until next week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has already appeared in four rehab games at High-A Lakeland, going 3-for-15 with a pair of doubles and four walks in those contests. He hasn't incurred any setbacks with his shoulder during the rehab program, but manager Ron Gardenhire recently said that the outfielder would need to get in a fair amount of at-bats in the minors before the Tigers would activate him. Beck's report suggests the Tigers' thinking on that front hasn't changed, so expect Mikie Mahtook and Niko Goodrum to handle center-field duties for the big club for at least a few more games.

Jones (shoulder) played in games Friday and Saturday at High-A Lakeland, going 3-for-8 at the dish with two doubles and two RBI.

EDGE Analysis

According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Jones said he feels ready to return from the 10-day injured list, but manager Ron Gardenhire wasn't ready to commit to the outfielder being activated before the weekend ends. Gardenhire suggested that Jones will likely need to play three or four games in the minors before the Tigers decide on his next step, so the 26-year-old looks at least a couple days away from rejoining the big club. Detroit has turned to a combination of Mikie Mahtook, Niko Goodrum and Dustin Peterson in center field while Jones has been sidelined.

Jones (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with High-A Lakeland on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones suffered a shoulder sprain late in spring training, but his absence is unlikely to extend far into the regular season. He should return to Detroit as the regular center fielder after a few rehab games.

Jones (shoulder) will require a rehab assignment before coming off the IL, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since the minor-league season does not start until Thursday, Jones probably won't return until next week at the earliest. He is expected to take over in center field once healthy until top prospect Daz Cameron is ready to claim that spot this summer.

Jones (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is battling a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, though he's optimistic that his stay on the shelf will be a brief one. He's eligible to return April 4 should he prove ready. Dustin Peterson was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding roster move while Mike Mahtook and Niko Goodrum are candidates to fill in at center field during Jones' absence.
