Jones was traded from the Rockies to the Guardians in exchange for Tyler Freeman on Saturday, SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones came up through the Guardians' minor-league system and had a fair amount of expectations as a prospect. He had a breakout 2023 season in Colorado after being dealt by Cleveland, only to fall flat in 2024 due to a number of injuries. Jones will look to bounce back in his reunion with the Guardians and should occupy a large-side platoon in right field.

Jones was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies haven't yet given a reason for Jones' removal from the starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity shortly. In the meantime, Benny Montgomery will patrol left field and bat eighth.

Jones has gone 5-for-16 across his last six Cactus League games.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has started to turn things around after beginning spring training 0-for-13 with four strikeouts. He has still yet to record an extra-base hit, which is a concern after his power evaporated in an injury-plagued 2024 season. Nevertheless, Jones will be a marquee member of the Rockies' lineup and should be an everyday player so long as he can remain healthy.

Jones went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has had a rough season, and there haven't been many signs of him turning things around as he's hitting only .224 with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate in 25 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 20. He did manage to make an impact in Sunday's loss, highlighted by an RBI single in the third inning, and he has driven in three runs across his last five appearances.

Jones is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones started the first two games of the series, going 0-for-5 with a couple walks. He'll get the day off Wednesday against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, with Sam Hilliard taking over in left field.

Jones went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has had a miserable September, tallying only five hits across 31 at-bats paired with a 34.2 percent strikeout rate. He also hasn't homered since June 29, leading to a .095 ISO on the campaign. Jones is still getting regular at-bats against righties for the time being, though Sam Hilliard has been far more productive of late.

Jones is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Jones will unsurprisingly take a seat against southpaw Tarik Skubal and has now been out of the lineup three times out of the last four games. Jordan Beck will start in left field for the Rockies on Thursday.
