2 hours agoThe Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen writes that Detroit Tigers designated hitter Jahmai Jones could be a dark-horse candidate to make the Opening Day roster if outfielder Parker Meadows (arm) opens the year on the injured list. Outfielder Ryan Kreidler, who can also play shortstop in a pinch, is another option. However, Jones is a utility player that has spent most of his time in the outfield in spring training while playing well early in camp. The 27-year-old had a .925 OPS in just 25 plate appearances against lefties in 2024 and also had an .883 OPS against lefties at Triple-A. He isn't currently on the 40-man roster, but his ability to play the outfield and hit lefties could give him the edge. If the Tigers bring in a right-handed batter who can also play center field before spring training ends, though, Jones could be ticketed for Triple-A Toledo to begin the year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
