Nolan Jones Reinstated And Starting Friday
6 months agoThe Colorado Rockies reinstated outfielder Nolan Jones (knee) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed catcher Elias Diaz (calf) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to June 11) with a left-calf strain in a corresponding move. Jones is right back in the lineup on Friday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski, playing left field and batting fifth for the Rockies. The 26-year-old lefty swinger initially went on the IL on April 30 with back stiffness but had his minor-league rehab assignment stopped with he dealt with right-knee soreness. He went 8-for-33 with a homer and five RBI for Triple-A Albuquerque after restarting his rehab assignment. Despite hitting .170 (16-for-94) with a homer and seven RBI before going on the IL, Jones has enormous power/speed upside and should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
