Nolan Jones Dealing With Back Tightness, Expects To Play Thursday
9 months agoColorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (back) was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League game early against the Texas Rangers as a precaution due to lower-back tightness, but Jones said he's fine and expects to be back in the lineup on Thursday versus the Kansas City Royals. The 25-year-old should be considered a high-end No. 2 fantasy outfielder in the best hitting environment in baseball in Coors Field. The left-handed hitter was a second-round pick by the Cleveland Guardians in 2016 and showed off his impressive power/speed combination in 106 games for the Rockies last year by slashing .297/.389/.542 with a .931 OPS, 20 homers 62 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 424 plate appearances. Jones was just as good away from Coors Field, too which makes him even more exciting.
