Jones (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Jones was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a career .234/.260/.395 slash in 43 MLB games, and was signed to a minor-league contract by the Angels in November. He'll very likely play for Triple-A Salt Lake to begin -- and most likely end -- the 2023 season.

Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones owns a career .234/.260/.395 slash line in 43 MLB games, and at age 29, it's unlikely a significant step forward is on the horizon. He recorded a slightly above-average 108 wRC+ at the Triple-A level last season, so it's unlikely he plays a meaningful role for the Angels this year.

Jones was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was claimed off waivers by San Francisco in mid-September but will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster. He could work with the big-league coaching staff as a non-roster invitee this spring.

EDGE Analysis
Jones was designated for assignment by the Astros after Blake Taylor was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. The 28-year-old will now head to Sacramento and join the Giants' Triple-A affiliate, where he is slashing .263/.370/.456 on the season. Jose Rojas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Astros optioned Jones to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones grounded out in his pinch-hit appearance Monday versus Boston. Now, he returns to the minors with Alex Bregman back from paternity leave.

Jones was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will take the roster spot of Alex Bregman, who was placed on the paternity list in the corresponding move. Bregman will be away from the team for 1-to-3 days, so Jones' latest stint with the big club does not figure to be a long one.

Jones (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a back injury, but he's now been deemed healthy after a 14-game rehab assignment with Sugar Land. The 28-year-old will remain with the Triple-A affiliate until the Astros promote him for his season debut in the majors.

Jones (back) has gone 8-for-40 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land.
EDGE Analysis
Jones joined Sugar Land on June 3 and has consistently been in the lineup since. He's struck out at a 26.1 percent clip but is also suffering from a .222 BABIP. Jones will have to be activated from the injured list in the coming days, but he will likely remain in Sugar Land.
