Nolan Jones Scratched On Friday
5 months agoColorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones has been scratched from the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting New York Mets for undisclosed reasons. We'll provide an update on why Jones was scratched when we know more. With the 26-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder now out, Sam Hillard will play left field and bat ninth for the Rockies against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea. An injury caused Jones to miss considerable time this year, but when he's been healthy, he's been a shell of what he showed last year, hitting .202/.311/.313 with a weak .623 OPS, only three home runs, 14 RBI and three stolen bases in 163 at-bats. Fantasy managers shouldn't completely give up on him yet, but he's going to need to get it going here soon. Both of Hilliard's two homers this year came in the same game earlier this week, and he's gone 4-for-18 (.222) otherwise. UPDATE: Jones was scratched with back tightness.
