Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
With Steven Kwan staying put at the trade deadline and prospect C.J. Kayfus getting promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Jones looks set to fall into a bench role. He'll be on the bench for a third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Jose Urena) while Kayfus receives the start in right field.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Jones doubled in the second run of Cleveland's two-run second inning. He's stayed healthy this season following an injury-laden 2024, but health has not brought back Jones' rookie form of 2023, when he had a .931 OPS with 20 home runs and 20 steals. He's batting .216/.302/.324 with three homers, four steals and 19 RBI through 68 games. On a brighter note, Jones' OPS has improved each month with his .740 for the month June outpacing that of March/April (.570) and May (.616).

Jones went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jones got the Guardians on the board with his RBI double in the fourth inning. He has gone 3-for-5 with two walks and two extra-base hits over the last two games. The outfielder still has a paltry .220/.309/.333 slash line with four steals, three home runs, 18 RBI and 13 runs scored over 182 plate appearances, but he may be finding his swing at the plate. Jones is still likely to be limited to a strong-side platoon role in the outfield.

Jones went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jones went 0-for-8 with two walks and three strikes over his previous five games, though he was mostly limited to pinch-hitting duties during a stretch of four straight left-handed starters facing the Guardians. He had previously been holding down a near-everyday role to begin June, but Johnathan Rodriguez is platooning with Jones in right field now. Jones' second stint in Cleveland isn't going all that well, as he has a .212/.299/.321 slash line with three homers, 17 RBI, 12 runs scored, three stolen bases, six doubles and a triple over 178 plate appearances.

Jones went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Jones delivered a two-run single in the fourth inning plated the Guardians final two runs. He's hit safely in four straight, with three of those being multi-hit efforts, and knocked in at least one run in those four contests. After enduring a season-opening slump, Jones appears to be getting on track. Over the last 16 games, the outfielder is 16-for-48 (.333) with 10 RBI. The surge has lifted him above the Mendoza line for the first time since Opening Day.
