Guardians' Nolan Jones: Taking seat against righty
Rotowire
Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
The Guardians are facing a right-hander (Dean Kremer) on Wednesday, but the lefty-hitting Jones will be on the bench while Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt opens up room in the outfield for the hot-hitting Angel Martinez, who has gone 8-for-14 at the dish since his call-up from Triple-A Columbus a week ago. Once Martinez's bat cools, Jones could re-emerge as the Guardians' preferred option in right field against right-handed pitching.

Guardians' Nolan Jones: Two walks in win
Rotowire
Jones returned to the starting lineup Tuesday and went 0-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in a win over the White Sox.

He's shared right field with righty-swinging Jhonkensy Noel, who started Sunday against a lefty. Neither player has done much at the dish, which could eventually result in a change. Jones is 3-for-24 (.125) with 10 strikeouts over 24 at-bats, while Noel is batting .059 (1-for-17).

Guardians' Nolan Jones: Slated for right field versus RHP
Rotowire
Jones is expected to see the bulk of his playing time in right field against right-handed pitching, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The Guardians acquired Jones via trade Saturday and sent Will Brennan down Monday, effectively replacing the latter with the former as the strong side of a platoon in right field. Jhonkensy Noel is likely to start in right field versus left-handers. Jones exiting Coors Field isn't ideal on the surface, but Progressive Field ranked fourth in baseball for home runs for left-handed batters last season, per Baseball Savant's Park Factors.

Guardians' Nolan Jones: Dealt back to Cleveland
Rotowire
Jones was traded from the Rockies to the Guardians in exchange for Tyler Freeman on Saturday, SI.com reports.
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 while playing through injuries. Jones will look to bounce back in his reunion with the Guardians and should occupy a large-side platoon in right field.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Starting to get better results
Rotowire
Jones has gone 5-for-16 across his last six Cactus League games.
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.
